re: Circumcision doubles risk for autism - link added MBD

Have you considered that the rate of children being diagnosed with autism is growing rapidly across the board?

Speaking anecdotally, I have met many people with Autism and I have found that a great many of those I've met with the disorder have a gluten allergy and/or have gastro-intestinal distress on a regular basis. My money is on GMO's or the abundance of wheat/grains being in some way responsible for this boom in Autism as well as other mental disorders.

Disclaimer: I love bread and eat it on a daily basis and often as I can, so I'm certainly not campaigning for gluten-free products/lifestyles.


I do believe something is causing the huge increase in cases of Autism, but I think it is in poor taste and short-sighted to try and link it to circumcision.
