Diabetes and autism! WOW, who would have thunk. Sugar is a poison. It is amazing how much sugar is in the average American's diet.

Autism is the new diagnosis for failure to indoctrinate.

Observational studies can only show correlation and correlation cannot prove causation.

This is barking up the wrong tree. Causation is most closely linked to the nearest available deep pockets. I thought everyone knew this.

I have to wonder what would happen if 60 years ago you said that antibiotics were dangerous because of the Bacterial resistance....

They would probably call you an anti-antibiotic kook.

I think the vaccines DO have issues, but it is a cost / risk analysis that needs to be done. certainly for major illnesses like polio, Measels, Mumps, Scarlet Fever, etc, Vaccines are a life saver and something that has dropped childhood mortality rates to near zero levels compared to the past.

However, we may learn that some vaccines should not be given to really young babies, or that “bundling” vaccines causes unintended consequences, also that getting constant vaccines for generally non-lethal diseases like the flu, may cause problems later on like auto-immune disorders.

The science of vaccines, like gore-Bull Warming is FAR from settled.

Mush like how antibiotics are not a “cure-all” and abuse of them can lead to all sorts of problems.

I was very interested in the film DeNiro took to Sundance which supported the theory. It was withdrawn before being shown due to pressure from the sponsors. ?? He has an autistic son.

Obesity is not caused by sugar as such. Your analysis is way too simplistic.

The article is well written and thoughtful.

“Sugar is a poison.”

Ugh, it certainly is not. Sugar is an essential nutrient required to support life. You can eat it directly, or you can try to avoid it and your body will just manufacture it out of other stuff you eat, because your body cannot function without sugar.

Now, too much sugar is not good for you, but that does not make sugar a “poison”, any more than water is a poison (yes, drinking too much water is bad for you too).

Not just as simple as this.

The vaccine schedule has ballooned since 1971, far more doses of vaccines and far more thimerosal into younger and younger kids, more frequently.

Further since 1971, there are far less sources for vaccines. Lots had chicken or other animal platforms for development, now many only have fetal tissue incubations, whic lead to a lot more cases for autoimmune problems due to other human proteins in the vaccines and the body attacks those, and then sometimes starts attacking its own proteins. Does not happen with animal proteins.

Another Theory with again correlation, is the increase in fertility drugs and autism. What is also interesting that autism occurs at higher rates with affluent couple, which tend to take more fertility drug to compensate for lower fertility rates in older couples.

This theory has more than correlation in that there a hypothesis behind the number. (Took this from a BLOG by Terrance Mix who wrote a book on it- VERIFY ALL SOURCES on your own) "One of the side effects of Clomid is that it impairs the production of cholesterol by acting on enzymes in your body, similar to the way cholesterol-reducing drugs do. Children born with these enzymes that are defective - and thus cannot produce sufficient levels of cholesterol - are born with a wide array of birth defects . . .Women of child-bearing age are warned to use birth control methods while on statin drugs for the same reason. (also warned not to take statin while Breast Feeding)

Theory goes that Brain development is impaired because essential fats are not available in early fetal development after taking Clomid. Clomid has a long half-life.
