Re: Five Harvard researchers accept the Vitamin D theory of autism.

Chrisb1 --

Just happened upon this thread this morning - thank you for your post - and was wondering about your comment regarding a "new" toxin, or change in nutrients, which might be a factor in autism. A significant decline in Iodine was a good insight, and reminded me of this item which I saw last week regarding the possible interaction of Iodine and Vitamin D metabolism:

Perhaps the authors (who push the Iodine project) know of similar studies?

This is an area of personal interest to me, and although not trained in the technology, is it possible that, given the exploration of iodine insufficiency in conjunction with vitamin D insufficiency, that the introduction of fluorine into our diets, some 50 years ago, might be a relevant factor in the toxin soup? I have heard the great majority of autism cases are associated with Type A blood individuals, where associated digestive limitations have been cited as possible factors and am wondering about the incidence of autism in areas with fluoridated water.
