New Hypothesis - Vitamin D and Autism ????

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

Dr. Cannell, founder of the 'Vitamin D Council', who previously

raised the issue of a possible relationship between vitamin D

sufficiency and defense against influenza, has a new hypothesis. This

one is a possible connection between vitamin D deficiency and autism.

He is speculating that the emergence of the recent upsurge in cases of

autism starting around the same time as the 'don't go in the sun'

health scare, may possibly not be coincidental.

***IF*** he turns out to be right, then this has considerable

significance for anyone pregnant or with young children.

Of course this remains to be demonstrated.
