Toxicants found in teeth of children with autism, study says
Original: UT San Antonio Health Science Center study finds elevated levels of toxicants in teeth of children with autism
Researchers at the UT San Antonio Health Science Center report that children with autism show elevated levels of toxicants in their baby teeth. The findings suggest that exposure to certain environmental chemicals may occur early in development and could be linked to the condition. Researchers say the study may help clarify environmental risk factors, though it does not establish that toxicants cause autism, and further research is needed.
Why now: A new scientific study linking environmental toxicant exposure to autism is newly published and drawing attention to possible environmental causes.
