Now, people want to know, a lot of parents have been dealing with kids with autism. I mean, one in 32 kids in America today have autism. We can't just keep medicating every kid. It was one in 10,000 in the 90s. It was unheard of. The sort of repetitive motions, the tics, the heavy, the complete nonverbal child. Where did you see that in the 1940s and 50s? And so we have to look at everything.

And when you do science, you can't say, hey, we're going to do a study of what is causing this epidemic affecting 1 in 32 kids. But when you can't look at these potential causes, that's not how science is done.

I don't know what causes autism, but I'm deeply concerned about the rise. If I had to make a hypothesis as a scientist, not as a regulator, but as a scientist, and Dr. Bhattacharya is going to be launching a very impressive study using electronic health big data that we're helping curate.

I think it is the cumulative burden of all of these exposures, environmental and dietary, that alter the microbiome. Remember, 90% of the serotonin made, which is involved in mood and mental health, is from bacteria in the microbiome. That's where it's produced.

And when you mess up the microbiome, when you carpet bomb the microbiome with all of these ingredients that don't appear in nature, these are novel chemicals. What are we doing? So we've known for a long time as a scientific community that kids with autism have different stool composition, different biodiversity.

So when you look at the billion different bacteria that live in the microbiome, there may be an association between changing the microbiome and autism and things that are changing the microbiome that we've not yet fully appreciated. And that could be a whole list of things.

all of it we have to look at all of it i mean if you look at how much children are suffering they're in pain they're depressed they're dealing with injecting themselves with insulin something you would rarely see a kid have type 2 diabetes in their teenage years a generation ago now you got 20 of kids who have diabetes or pre-diabetes the vast majority are type 2 diabetes right

We have only been talking about treating the rise in colon cancer in young people with new chemotherapy. New chemotherapy is not going to address the root causes. We need to do it, and we want to see new drugs come into market quickly. But we've got to talk about what is insulting the microbiome, driving general body inflammation.
