]]> The list of health risks Agent Orange may cause has potentially added two more: heart disease and Parkinson’s.

Other diseases linked to Agent Orange include leukemia, prostate cancer, Type 2 diabetes, and birth defects in the children of veterans who were exposed to the toxin. About 20 million gallons of Agent Orange were used between 1962 and 1971 during the Vietnam War.
