I’d recommend you read the following report: Proximity to Golf Courses and Risk of Parkinson Disease

Individuals living within water service areas with a golf course had nearly double the odds of PD compared with individuals in water service areas without golf courses…

Did you read the paper carefully? It's about pesticide use. (It's not especially plausible as epidemiological studies go, though I'm unsurprised if a better study finds a firmer correlation between pesticides and PD.)

Did you not read that the effect was directly tied to “Individuals living within water service areas” in my original comment? Yeah no shit it’s pesticides. They’re seeping into the water supply from the golf course runoff.

Datacenters expel water filled with all kinds of heavy metals and other kinds of toxic sludge. https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/sustainability/4-strateg...

It should be pretty obvious the parallel I’m drawing here. Where’d you get your epidemiology PhD?

It is in fact not obvious what parallel you're drawing here. What parts of this study do you find especially credible, methodologically?
