Mycotropic<p>"Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dismissed increased screening and understanding of autism for the rising rate of diagnoses in the U.S., instead directly blaming “environmental toxins” for the increase.</p><p>“This is a preventable disease. We know it’s an environmental exposure. It has to be. Genes do not cause epidemics,” he told reporters Wednesday while promoting a federal study he's ordered into the condition, which he has said will determine autism's cause by September.</p><p>“Genetic markers alone are not going to dictate your destiny. You need an environmental toxin,” he said.</p><p>Kennedy said his study is going to look into food additives, mold, water, medicines and ultrasounds as potential causes.
