There seems to be tremendous controversy on this subject. In fact I've been reading about it quite recently.

My take is that vaccines, MSG, mercury, thimerosal, GMOs, food coloring, flavoring, and a variety of chemicals contribute to the phenomenon of Autism. Because the disease manifests itself so differently in so many different individuals it is apparent to me that there are a myriad of cause and relationship scenarios.

We're poisoning ourselves, or allowing the multinational corporations to poison us.

There was some interesting information on this subject recently with a few blurbs about John Erb getting arrested without charges being filed. I wasn't able to find out as much as I would have liked. Erb is quite vocal about the various causes of Autism and like me feels that there are many culprits or causes.

It becomes problematic to keep up with the huge number of poisons in our small world. I have a very difficult time buying food in the grocery store. If one starts reading food labels and desires to maintain a clean diet the realization comes quite easily; there are very few foods one can buy. Currently I am eating vegetables, fruits, cheese and bread.

I'm afraid to eat meat. I'm afraid to eat fish. I am afraid to eat anything with additives that I can't pronounce. I'm afraid there is very little food that can be purchased that is 100% safe.

Even when I buy fruits and vegetables I have no way to determine if they have a pesticide content, if they were grown using GMO methods, and even worse, according to recent studies, if they are contaminated with bovine growth hormone as a result of the use of manure throughout the agricultural industry.

That's from the latest most recent studies available. Yes, we are all ingesting bovine growth hormone in relatively large quantities through the common use of agricultural manure which is used even on organically grown fruits and vegetables.

Nothing is safe.
