Autism and HFCS - a link somewhere?

 "According to the research, paraoxonase 1 or PON1– a protein-coding gene responsible for detoxifying the body– is a lot lower in individuals with autism. The study attributes this to high HCFS intake, which, researchers suggest, is inevitable due to its presence in almost every food being sold on the market. The research noted that HCFS has a serious adverse effect to human health which deters the elimination of both toxins and heavy metals from the human body. According to the researchers, this is due to the fact that HCFS depletes zinc, a natural mineral responsible for bodily toxin elimination." 

Like many aspects in life, I often think it's a combination of things that lead to various circumstances. The authors of this study below made a note to point out exactly this-

Dufault and Wallinga subsequently explained that the paper “does not allege consumption of HFCS causes autism,” but rather “how it may be one important risk factor of many that contributes to a cumulative or ‘total load’ of risks” and that “this study finds that (HFCS) may be a risk factor that can contribute to the development of an autism spectrum disorder.”

There will always be some idiot or moron in denial who doesn't want accept the possibility. Or perhaps they'll bloviate that such initial connections will never be substantiated. These are often the same idiots who complain about the way things, but never vote. They whine about shit they see in Facebook and cannot see the broader impact of issues like this.

These people often remind of the same kinds of fools who over a hundred years ago said that they'd never show that cigarette smoking was bad for your health, or that there's no proof global warming is caused by human activity.

As in the case of these two issues, they were proven to be wrong. It's usually just a matter of time.
