Scientists already know that chemical exposure during pregnancy can cause autism. A third of the children of women who took thalidomide - a drug used in the 1960s to treat morning sickness that is infamous for causing deformed arms and legs - were also autistic if the exposure took place between the 19th and 24th day of pregnancy, which coincides with the beginning stages of brain development.
"I think it's a fair assumption that it's probably going to be genes plus some environmental factor," said David Amaral, research director of the MIND Institute in Sacramento, Calif. The mission of the institute, founded by four fathers of autistic children, is to find the causes of childhood neurological disorders generally and autism in particular.
Since 16 July 1945 there have been 2,044 tests worldwide, the equivalent of one test occurring somewhere in the world every nine days for the last fifty years.
When people breathe it in, plutonium may remain in the lungs or move to the bones or organs. Generally it stays in the body for a long time and continually exposes body tissues to radiation. After a few years this could result in the development of cancer. Furthermore, plutonium may affect the ability to resist disease and the radioactivity from plutonium may cause reproductive failure.
Toxic waste chemicals are disposed of by feeding to humans, then calling it fluoride
Metal contaminants can increase your risk of dealing with Alzheimer’s. The National Institute of Health found that aluminum can cause neurological damage associated with Alzheimer’s. Avoid excessive exposure to aluminum by limiting your use of aluminum cookware and certain antacids, aspirins and antiperspirant which contain aluminum.
A study published in the journal Neuroreport identified mercury as another metal linked to Alzheimer’s. The study reported damage to the nervous system caused by mercury is very similar to the damage that occurs in Alzheimer patients. You can lessen your exposure to mercury by avoiding vaccines with the preservative thimerosal, ocean-caught seafood and amalgam dental fillings.
You may have gluten sensitivity and not even know it, according to a study published in the April 23 issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Loss of coordination (ataxia) may result from gluten sensitivity. This disease is known as gluten ataxia. The study found that some patients might never experience the gastrointestinal symptoms that prompt them to seek treatment for the disorder.

Recently, a neighbor, who is served pork in almost every dish, for years, just had a huge log of cancer removed from his chest cavity; but is otherwise a healthy non smoker from a family of health and longevity.
All sorts of reasons to be suspicious of pork, notably the nerve damage reported in the last link here.

I have to eat (choose to eat) alternate grains to wheat. I avoid all corn syrup solids and common vegetable oils/corn oils. But cornmeal...ah!
That is why eating pork is forbidden in the OT........and it sill should be

Obviously a diet of natural corn, unprocessed and unpolluted, will probably have few side effects.
Once you enter HFCS into the mix, along with pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified corn that contains elevated levels of growth hormones, that's when the problem develops.
