Chemically induced autism? Scientist discovers pesticides, fungicides lead to neurodegeneration in test subjects

A new study found that certain pesticides and fungicides cause neurodegeneration in brain cells similar to the effects of autism and Alzheimer's – findings that suggest a link between the use of these chemicals and the skyrocketing rise in autism rates. The report, published by the journal Nature Communications, showed that several commonly used fungicides and pesticides triggered … Continue reading Chemically induced autism?
