Glyphosphate (Roundup) and Autism – MIT researcher shows alarming correlation between the sue of Roundup and the increase in the incidence of autism. July 2014 Gluten sensitivity biomarker coming soon. Interview on About.com with Dr. Alessio Fasano who is confident that a clinical trial now underway will pinpoint a biological marker for non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and that discovery should pave the way for the development of diagnostic tests for the condition. If such a marker is identified it could help to clarify the controversial relationship between gluten sensitivity and autism and identify which autistic children might benefit from a gluten-free diet.

March 2011 New autism consortium study proves (again) that inherited genes don’t cause autism - a lengthy article in the Age of Autism web news suggests that all the recent hype about the discovery of autism-causing genes is just that and not based on fact. July 2010 Hepatitis B vaccine could triple risk of autism in infant boys. September 2009 Could Vitamin D deficiency be a cause of autism? 2009 More 'autism genes' identified - but they may not hold the entire answer. 2009 New Evidence on MMR/autism link: A report on the controversial behaviour of the British government when presented with convincing research of the links between MMR and autism. John Scott 2006 Autism – an allergic disease: Brief accounts of the research presented by doctors and professors in the areas linking food allergy and autism at a conference in 2004 Diet Allergy and Nutrition in ADHD and Autism: Diet, the only area of autism causes not medically studied, is here explained by five experts, along with related digestive disorders. 2001Top of page |
