It's been known for years, but the sleepers preferred denial. "There's no way this would be allowed!" How naive...money will buy ANYTHING in this morally bankrupt nation. Do some research on the connections between the FDA and monsanto. Here's a start:http://ivn.us/2013/02/11/the-revolving-door-fda-and-the-monsanto-company/http://abundanthope.net/pages/Health_and_Nutrition_37/Half-of-All-Children-Will-Be-Autistic-by-2025-Warns-Senior-Research-Scientist-at-MIT_printer.shtmlhttp://careground.com/star-panel/2014/half-children-will-autistic-2025/ 4951

What exactly defines autism?   ADHD is not autistic but so many parents and doctors declare children that are a little hyper autistic.  Now my SIL does have mental limits but I dont consider her autistic, she might be 43 and have the mentality of an 8 year old but to me she's lucky.  Not to mention she is very smart and plays up her limitations.  She knows the way she is and how people claim she is so therefore she gets away with things that some wouldn't  My cousin has muscular dystrophy now he is autistic, can't swallow unless reminded has no control over involuntary muscles.  A blind child or deaf is autistic. The word is being used way too much these days.  Its a shame to put such a hard label on so many that do not deserve it. 4951

@angiekaye: I think that is pushing it a bit far, but I get your point.2 years ago, there were supposed to be new guidelines put in place to make sure a child was truly autistic.  I wonder why they never went through.  It would have weeded out at least 40% of the children(estimated).  Kids and their parents get more resources if their child is labeled autistic and not mentally challenged.

what an assuming post. one scientist links autism to essentially the use of roundup in agriculture and with no further ado you find a conspiracy involving monsanto and the fda. another sky is falling post. and by the way, those bottom two  links you posted are the exact same story just reposted in different locations. there may be a link but in your own linked stories, the caveat is cited that there may be other toxic substances which induce autism thus negating the findings without further and broader studies to establish links and disprove coincidental circumstances.   there were just findings released from another study involving 116,000 female american nurses which show a possible link between air pollution of certain types during pregnancy  and autism in the offspring. and some people want to cut the epa budget?
Autism and Air Pollution: New Study Bolsters Suspected Link


By Bill Briggs












 


 
 
 





 





 






 






Pregnant
women may nearly double their risk of giving birth to a child with
autism by inhaling smog spewed by vehicles or smoke stacks, according to
a new Harvard study that could help unlock the deepest autism mysteries.
The research, released Thursday, fortifies previous scientific findings that linked air pollution to autism.
And it offers fresh insights by showing women in their third trimesters
seem most vulnerable if they breathe in elevated levels of tiny
airborne particles emitted by power plants, fires and automobiles.







"We found an association
that was specific to pregnancy and especially to the third trimester,
identifying a window, which might shed a light on processes that are
happening that can lead to autism," said Marc Weisskopf, the report's
senior author and associate professor of environmental and occupational
epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health.
The higher the exposure rate, the greater the risk, he found.










 
Tying those mini toxins
to the final trimester may offer a compelling clue, Weisskopf added,
because so much neuronal growth occurs during those three months — "a
time when brain development could be affected."
The findings appear online in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
The Harvard team focused
on pregnant women who took part in the Nurses' Health Study II, a group
of more than 116,000 female U.S. nurses who agreed to be tracked
starting in 1989. Researchers amassed data on where participants lived
while pregnant and crosschecked air-pollution readings for those areas
as recorded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.







Among those mothers,
Weisskopf and his colleagues identified 245 children who were diagnosed
with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the time period examined.

Why is there so much cancer, autism, and other illness and disabilities? What is the common thread? Is it our food? The water supply? We've gone organic and have been giving up processed foods. I won't even touch fast food. Eat real food and screw Monsanto! 4951

without facts, you don't know the caausative factors. if you notice the one study that was ingoing since 1989 found  a link between autism and a mother's exposure to air pollution in the last trimester of pregnancy. in addition, monsanto is not a food producer. for that you can point to the cargil, adm and other entities which may or may not be users of monsanto products.it is a lot more complicated situation than the posit that there is a a single causative factor and that that is a bad guy in a black hat. if you are looking for a bad guy, one candidate could be the group of people who want to relax environmental health standards and laws to allow more pollution of various kinds and in higher amounts. after all we have to compete with china in the race to shitvillehttp://www.nbcnews.com/health/kids-health/autism-air-pollution-new-study-bolsters-suspected-link-n270331 4951

I didn't read the article and I don't have to read the article to know the FDA and USDA are dirty and so is Monsanto. And they do much of their dirty work as a team.Which exact diseases and disorders are caused by long-term exposure to Round Up and GMO's is going to take much more long-term research.Remember, Monsanto manufactured DDT in the 1950's and they were allowed to market it as beneficial. 4951
