The researchers found that not only were associated peppers with a reduced risk of Parkinson's but also that the more peppers people consumed the greater the apparent benefit.
People who ate peppers five to six times a week or more slashed their Parkinson's risk by about 50 percent compared with those who ate them less than once a week.
Peppers'good-for-neuron powers were much clearer in people who had used never tobacco regularly Searles Nielsen added.

Genome May Lead to Even Spicier Peppers Editor's Note: This article was updated at 3: 20 p m. ET:
Scientists have sequenced the genome of the pepper plant revealing the genes responsible for pepper's spiciness.
and incite research on related pepper agronomy traits and help breeders accelerate the research of new breeds by molecular biology techniques said study co-author Cheng Qin a researcher at Sichuan Agricultural University in China.
Pepper history Peppers were domesticated first by Native americans in the tropics of South america as far back as 8000 years ago from a wild variant known as Chiltepin annuum (variant glabriusculum.
The pepper which is part of a family that includes the tomato and the potato soon spread from the New world after Columbus arrived in The americas.
and more than 34.6 million tons of the peppers were harvested in 2011. Tip of the Tongue:
Some of the resulting peppers including the Carolina Reaper and the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion can be 100000 times as spicy as the humble pimento pepper
and researchers have calculated that 2. 7 pounds of the spice from these peppers would be enough to kill a human.
For comparison a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion contains about the same amount of capsaicin as a shot-glass of law enforcement-grade pepper spray.
Genome sequenced To learn more about the pepper Qin and his colleagues sequenced the genome of a pepper cultivated at their institution known as Zunla-1 along with its wild counterpart.
The team found that the pepper diverged from tomatoes and potatoes about 36 million years ago.
In addition about 81 percent of the plant's genome was made up of transposons or so-called jumping genes that can move to other places within the genome.
In addition the team scanned the genomes of 18 cultivated peppers to compare differences between wild and cultivated varieties.
The findings suggest two new ways to breed even spicier peppers either by identifying peppers with the right spice genes and crossbreeding them or by genetically engineering the peppers to express more copies of the heat-producing genes Qin said.
