My comment into WaPost:

A pregnant woman's number of amalgam filling is associated with risk of

autism. " The mothers in the autistic group had significantly higher

levels of mercury exposure through Rho D immunoglobulin injections and

amalgam fillings than control mothers. " (1) " Subjects [ie, autistic

children of mothers] with > or =6 amalgams were 3.2-fold significantly

more likely to be diagnosed with autism (severe) in comparison to ASD

(mild) than subjects with < or =5 amalgams. " (2)

1. Reduced levels of mercury in first baby haircuts of autistic children.
