“The sharp increase in autism among our children. It’s more than just earlier screening. There’s more to the story here. What is it?”
Perhaps the answer to that question will be found in arachidonic acid research. Excerpt: Arachidonic acid-derived diols, 11,12-diHETrE was found to impact ASD symptom severity on the ADOS-2-calibrated severity scores and impairment in the socialization domain as assessed by the VABS-II (P = 0.0003; P = 0.004, respectively). High levels of 11,12-diHETrE impact social affect in ASD symptoms (P = 0.002), while low levels of 8,9-diHETrE impact repetitive/restrictive behavior (P = 0.003). Notably, there was specificity in the association between diHETrE and ASD symptoms, especially in girls. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pcn.13710
(2024) Compared to offspring of mothers with a healthy preconception body weight, children born to overweight or obese mother have been found to be at higher risks of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) ), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) , mood disorder, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia , and a ranges of psycho-neurotic, mood, stress and somatization disorders. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39278191/
If the powers that be were to figure out what caused the global obesity epidemic, they would be able to explain the increase in autism. (2016) "We now know that major changes have taken place in the food supply over the last 100 years, when food technology and modern agriculture led to enormous production of vegetable oils high in ω-6 fatty acids, and changed animal feeds from grass to grains, thus increasing the amount of ω-6 fatty acids at the level of linoleic acid (LA) (from oils) and arachidonic acid (AA) (from meat, eggs, dairy).” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5093368/

This is fascinating, David. Thank you for sharing — I am going to have to look more into it!
Dear Vance!
Wow! Thank you for your ongoing work and faith and uplifting voice.
And, yes, I mostly scanned instead of read because I’m eager to dash out to my “organic” garden (except for what the rain and wind might bring to it.)
I’ll be harvesting some stinging nettles, dandelion greens, kale, collard green, chard, walking Egyptian onions, tarragon, lemon balm…
And I bought a box of butter cubes for the first time in decades because of your goody influence. And, of course, I keep also using organic olive oil.
Keep writing!!!!
Lindy
Lindy!
Thank you for the encouragement! Your garden sounds amazing, and I love to hear that I’ve been a ✨butter✨ influence on you :)
