Food and Autism Lecture
Is there a connection?
RANDOM FACTS
•
A study of one million students in New York
showed that students who ate lunches that did
not include artificial flavors, preservatives, and
dyes did 14% better on IQ tests than students
who ate lunches with these additives.
•
McDonald''s salads contain up to 60% more fat
than their burgers!
•
From the age of thirty, humans gradually begin
to shrink in size.
•Women are twice more talkative than men! It has
been estimated that on average, men speak 12,500
words and women speak about 25,500 words in a
day.
•The average number of thoughts that humans
are believed to experience each day is 70,000
•Every time you recall a memory or have a new
thought, you are creating a new connection in
your brain.
Food and Autism
GENETIC ENGINEERING FACTS-SOURCE CENTERS FOR FOOD SAFETY
•Human health effects can include higher risks of toxicity, allergies, antibiotic resistance,
immune-suppression and cancer.
•As for environmental impacts, the use of genetic engineering in agriculture will lead to
pollution, plant and animal species with extinction.
FOOD ALLERGIES AND AUTISM
•Gluten and milk protein (casein)
•eggs, tomatoes, eggplant, avocado, red peppers, soy and corn.
•Pregnant women with allergies, psorasis, diabetes, and asthma
CLONING
•“In January 2008, the FDA essentially told the public that the meat and milk from cloned
livestock “
•Small defects in clones are common which can lead to food safety problems.
•Inbreeding which leads to the animals having weaker immune systems. Which means
animals are fed more antibiotics.
•Cow milk will be the first item introduced
EPIGENETICS
Epigenome- chemical tags that sit on top of and around DNA. The
epigenome controls when genes turn on or off and how loudly they
express your genetic programming.
FOOD HABITS CAN CHANGE YOUR GENES
•
A two-year-old study, conducted by Randy Jirtle of Duke University
Medical Centre in Durham, North Carolina,which showed that the
activity of a mouse's genes could be influenced by food
supplements eaten by its mother just prior to or during the early
stage of pregnancy. the researchers injected L-methionine, a
common amino acid and food supplement, into the brains of wellreared rats. The amino acid methylated the glucocorticoid gene,
and the animal's behaviour changed.
•
Scientists exposed lab animals to a particular pesticide. Expectantly
they exhibited neurological damage and autistic like behaviors.
Here's the catch - they compared the animals hard genes before
and after exposure and determined they were undamaged. They
then bred the animals... Surprisingly four generations later the great
great siblings exhibited the same percentage of autistic like
behavior and neurological damage - even though they were never
directly exposed to pesticides and it would not be found in their
blood stream.

One fast food hamburger may contain meat from 100
different cows.
Every month, about 9 out of 10 American children visit
a McDonald’s restaurant.
Grilled chicken sandwiches and salads on fast
food menus, might contain beef. – For example
chicken McNuggets contain several beef additives
disguised generally with secret names like “extract” or
“essence”. Current offenders include Wendy’s Grilled
Chicken Sandwich and KFC’s Grilled Chicken
Sandwich
Propylene Glycerol used for antifreeze keeps your
salad crispy . – This chemical, also comes with alerts
like skin and eye irritation if exposed to the human
body. It is generally used in products like Sierra Anti
Freeze and even worse Astroglide Sexual Lubricant .
Some yogurts contain beef or pork gelatin. – The
gelatin used in most leading brands of yogurt is
derived from beef and/or pork. Many products
containing Glycerin or its pseudonym, Stearic Acid
have animal by-products. Stearic acid comes from
beef tallow and Glycerin comes in synthetic or natural
form, but usually has beef tallow as an added
ingredient also.

RECENT STUDIES
• When GM soy was fed to female rats, most of their
babies died within three weeks — compared to a
10% death rate among the control group fed natural
soy. The GM-fed babies were also smaller, and later
had problems getting pregnant.
• When male rats were fed GM soy, their testicles
actually changed color — from the normal pink to
dark blue. Mice fed GM soy had altered young sperm
• US, about two dozen farmers reported thousands of
pigs became sterile after consuming certain GM corn
varieties. Some had false pregnancies; others gave
birth to bags of water. Cows and bulls also became
infertile when fed the same corn
• US population, the incidence of low birth weight
babies, infertility, and infant mortality are all
escalating.
• The gene inserted into GM soy transfers into the
DNA of bacteria living inside our intestines and
continues to function. This means that long after we
stop eating GMOs, we may still have potentially
harmful GM proteins produced continuously inside of
us.

HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP AND AUTISM
•Flavor enhancement that has increased use in our
packaged food.
•It is genetically manufactured and sometimes difficult
to digest.
•Drains the body of magnesium and interferes with
calcium absorption
•Interferes with iron absorption
•New research finding mercury in our corn syrup.
•“nearly one in three of 55 brand-name foods
contained mercury. Mostly dairy foods, dressing
and condiments.”-WA Post Jan 2009
•Americans consume 60 pounds of fructose a year

GROWTH HORMONES IN OUR FOOD
•rBGH is a growth hormone that has been in our dairy
products since 1993
•Animals that are injected with rBGH has increased use
of antibioiics.
•Residue of these antibiotics can lead to food allergies
in humans.
•These residues also lead antibiotic resistant bacteria
THE ENVIRONMENT
•Increase in ammonia hydrogen sulfate and other
emission from factory farms that are proven to harm
human health.
•“The average food product travels about 1,500 miles to
get to your grocery store? And that transporting food
accounts for 30,800 tons of greenhouse gas emissions
every year”-Food INC
PESTICIDES
“GE crops increase herbicide use by 383 million pounds
from 1996 to 2008, with 46 percent of the total increase
occurring in 2007 and 2008”“New research suggests that children whose mothers
lived near applications of the organochlorine pesticides
endosulfan and dicofol during the first trimester of
pregnancy are at significantly greater risk for developing
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).” Pesticide Action Network
