I think I read a while ago that several decades ago, the average American spent ~ 30% of their budget on food; the industrialization of the food supply, and that value is now closer to 10%. Food is cheaper, but it isn't necessarily better, especially the way most Americans eat. Considering that many autistic people have been shown to be genetically predisposed to glutamate processing issues (re: neurexin mutation), it would seem that reducing the amount of glutamate coming in might be a smart move. Not that it would 'cause' autism per se, but it <i>could</i>, make things worse. Take care -pD Hello friends –
