[QUOTE]Originally posted by unfinished thought.: [QB] Two interesting articles:' Scientists Find 'Baffling' Link between Autism and Vinyl Flooring March 31, 2009 Children who live in homes with vinyl floors, which can emit chemicals called phthalates, are more likely to have autism, according to new research. The study is among the first to find an apparent connection between an environmental chemical and autism. The scientists were surprised by their finding, especially since their research was not initially designed to focus on autism. The researchers recommend further study of larger numbers of children to see whether the link can be confirmed. In the study, families were asked questions about flooring as part of research investigating allergies and indoor air pollutants. The researchers found instead that four environmental factors were associated with autism -- vinyl flooring, the mother's smoking, family economic problems and condensation on windows (which can be an indicator of poor ventilation). Infants or toddlers who lived in bedrooms with vinyl floors were twice as likely to have autism five years later. http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=link-between-autism-and-vinyl [URL=http://www.drcranton.com/nutrition/Vitamin_D_autism.htm]Prenatal Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Autism[/URL] Vitamin D deficiency symptoms are strikingly similar to those of autism. As noted in Globe and Mail, according to the Vitamin D Council: "Falling vitamin D levels over the last 20 years due to sun‑avoidance explain autism’s rapid increase in incidence during that same time. The very different effects estrogen and testosterone have on vitamin D metabolism may explain why boys are much more likely to get it than girls are. Lower vitamin D levels in blacks may explain their higher rates of autism. The vitamin D theory has tenable explanations for all the epidemiological features of autism. ..pregnant women, infants, children, everyone—especially autistic children—should receive sensible sun exposure daily: around noon or 1:00 p.m., expose as much skin as possible, 10–30 minutes duration—depending on how easily one sunburns" [/QB][/QUOTE]
