So people who are refusing vaccines probably had some pre-existing health condition. They didn't control for that. Did that pre-existing health condition increase risk for autism? Probably.

Like probably. I mean, you look at any pre-existing health condition and does it increase risk for other health conditions? Usually the answer is yes. So we know that like women with obesity, much more likely, twice as likely to have an autistic child. Is that right? Yeah. Meta-analysis, over 3 million people. Women with obesity have double the risk of having an autistic child.

Have rates of obesity been skyrocketing in our population? The answer is yes. Are pregnant women also in that camp of obese women? Yes. Well, that accounts for a doubling of autism. Same deal with diabetes. Women who have diabetes... twice as likely to have autistic children as women who don't have diabetes.

When you put the two together, obese and diabetic, quadruple the rate of autism in the offspring.

It is. So men with obesity, twice as likely to have an autistic child as men who are not obese.

Yes. And so, you know, a lot of people are hyper-focused on vaccines cause autism and they come back to rates of autism are skyrocketing. There has to be a reason. Well, I agree. Rates of autism are skyrocketing. I agree. There does have to be a reason. Maybe we're missing the elephant in the room. Rates of metabolic poor health are skyrocketing in our population.

Rates of obesity and diabetes are skyrocketing, but rates of poor metabolic health. So metabolic syndrome has five biomarkers, you know, abdominal obesity, blood pressure, um, glucose, high levels of glucose, and then high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol. Those are the five biomarkers of metabolic syndrome. Only 7% of Americans are healthy in all five biomarkers. Only 7%.
