re: Circumcision doubles risk for autism - link added MBD

What is unconvincing about looking at a population and seeing a difference? It's an observation. A fact.

Your title is "circumcision doubles risk for autism" and is not supported by the study you linked. The statement "Higher rate of autism in circumcised vs uncircumcised males observed in Denmark" would have been an honest and factual title. Yours is not. What is unconvincing is the causal role that you claim given the study you present, specifically as the study mentions it can draw no firm conclusion from its results.

Here's another fact: babies who have ever been placed in a car seat are at much higher risk of being involved in a car crash than those who have never been placed in a car seat.


Relevance of facts is just as important as facts themselves.
