Autism and diet looked at in Canada

Is there a link between autism and a specific diet? In many cases, parents seem to attach a reduced rate of autism symptoms with a gluten-free and dairy-reduced diet.

Although the vaccine preservative Thimerosal has been recently shunned as a possible cause of autism, other environmental factors are now going to be studied extensively.

This is a good thing -- the amount of chemicals in modern foods as well as the amount of genetic manipulation in many foods needs to be studied as a possible cause of many ailments. Autism could be right up there.
