New Discoveries May Unlock the Link Between Vitamin D Deficiency and Autism

When I was in medical school more than 32 years ago, the incidence of autism was 1 in 10,000. Today, the incidence has climbed to less than 1 in 50, according to CDC statistics.

Projections from reputable experts suggest that within 10 to 20 years, HALF of all children will have some form of autistic disorder. 

While there’s a strong component of increased awareness, which means more children are being diagnosed, this still cannot account for the exponential increase in autism incidence. 

How can a culture continue to thrive if every other child has a dysfunctional brain? It can’t. It’s a prescription for social breakdown. Clearly something needs to be done to curb this avalanching trend. 

Optimizing your vitamin D is of particular importance during pregnancy.
