Study finds elevated toxicants in baby teeth of children with autism

Original: UT San Antonio Health Science Center study finds elevated levels of toxicants in teeth of children with autism

Researchers at UT San Antonio's Health Science Center report that baby teeth of children with autism show higher levels of certain toxicants than those of neurotypical children. The findings suggest prenatal or early-life environmental exposures may play a role in autism, though the study stops short of proving a causal link, and families and scientists are weighing its implications for prevention research.

Why now: A new scientific study from a Texas health institution links environmental toxicant exposure to autism, a topic of ongoing public and scientific debate
