Studies have found an association between C-sections and autism. In one, children born by C-section had a 21% higher risk for developing autism
Folate deficiency has been shown to raise a child’s risk of autism by inhibiting detoxification of pesticides. Optimizing folate intake during pregnancy has been shown to ameliorate this risk
Women who took prenatal vitamins — which include folic acid — lowered their child’s risk of autism by as much as 30%. Another study found that taking the recommended amount of folic acid at conception lowered the child’s risk of pesticide-related autism specifically
Pesticides, especially glyphosate, and C-sections both have an adverse effect on the child’s gut microbiome, thereby raising the risk of autism
Glyphosate (from Bayer/Monsanto) is widely used on genetically engineered crops, and the pesticide cannot be washed off, as it’s taken up into every cell of the plant. As a result, nonorganic foods are proving to be a significant source of glyphosate exposure
