& as it applies to The Villages and most any place with a municipal water supply:

"Finally, our analysis of municipal wells revealed no association between PD risk and living in water service areas with a shallow municipal well (aOR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.24-1.64) or with a municipal well on a golf course (aOR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.21-1.50) (eTable 4 in Supplement 1)."
Well, if this JAMA article has been debunked on TOTV, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all social media in the world, I guess we will just need to wait for Reddit and perhaps the Shopping Channel to weigh in before we make any rash judgements.
