Are you sure about that? I'm not a wheat farmer, but my understanding is that our export to import ratio on wheat is about 100 to 1. Even the Chinese are looking to import more US wheat because of the higher gluten content--as the country becomes more westernized, consumers in China want white fluffy bread too.
I just found this--it's an older article from 2007, but it looks like we don't import a lot of wheat, but that 70% of the wheat GLUTEN used in the US is (or was) imported. Interesting. Gluten is used an additive in some processed foods and pet foods.
Linking to opinion pieces with anecdotal evidence doesn't support your cause.
There is no statistical evidence to support a link between vaccines and autism. The best numerical underpinning comes from a Danish study - based on every Danish child born between 1991 and 1997, that's roughly half a million children, with about 18% not being vaccinated. No difference in rates of autism whatsoever.
We're better at spotting autism, and - dare I say it - it's probably becoming overdiagnosed.
are a vaccination, or even a certain food a POSSIBLE TRIGGER, sure its possible, but it is entirely GENETIC otherwise
=============
so according to you,, autism is mercury posining, and everyone who get inoculations is getting lethal doses of mercury
here is a question ,one that I have asked a couple of times in other threads,,,,,but people like you REFUSED to answer.
if we know mercury is a poison, and everyone gets the inoculations, and autism is a/effect caused by the mercury in inoculations.....then WHY are the instances only 1/105 (less than 1%)??????
sorry but you anit-vacine peoples refusal to answer..shows that you do really know.....its genetic....if it was solely the innoculations,,it would be 100%..not less than 1%
even if someone were to find a LINK between the innoculations and autism/asbergers, it would still be genetic, the innoculations might be a TRIGGER in CERTAIN GENETICS
I read a study that is linking autism to air pollution. The article was saying that pregnant mothers and new born babies exposed to more air pollution have an increased chance of developing autism. I don't know if that is actually the cause, but I feel that environmental factors are playing a role.
If that were true, all children in China and India would be autistic and that is just not the case. Air pollution in the US has been on a downward track since the 1970s. It's hard to attribute anything to decreasing air pollution.

Don't you remember the big pet food scare where pets were dropping dead from kidney failure ?
It was traced back to China. They were importing melamine labeled as "wheat gluten".
That's when I first became aware of it.
And when the olympics were in China they had just uncovered another melamine scare with it being in infant formula.
Gluten is used in a lot of processed foods to add substance or thicken up sauces.
This could actually support the "we're too clean" theories. The time frames mentioned correlate neatly with the peanut-free classroom era. (One kid with allergies causing the removal of peanuts for all)

Why would all of them have it? They could have a higher rate because of the air pollution, but to say all would doesn't make sense. Diagnosing children in India and China and comparing those numbers to the USA would be hard because of the lack of quality care in those countries that are still developing nations.
