In the next couple of days, I want to discuss the epidemic of autism and the connection of mercury to this epidemic. Although denied by the pharmaceutical industry, it's been commonly believed and reported that autism has been linked to mercury that is found in vaccines. The incidence of autism spectrum disorder has increased in the United States in the past decade and is now estimated to occur in one out of every ninety-one U.S. children. This is according to a study in the Journal of Pediatrics. In the same study, they also show causes of exposure to mercury, including food products. Tomorrow, I will discuss high fructose corn syrup.
