I am doing a normalization and update of data on Microbiome Prescription. There are many items to review and items that have been reviewed have { } in their name. The pattern is:

• Scientific Name
• {Common Name}
• Other Information

and not reviewed (YET)

So far in this review, I have come across two substances (more likely to come) where there has been many or interesting studies for Autism

Sulforaphane

and more studies…

Glyphosate

Studies from US National Library of Medicine

“Furthermore, it has been reported that most infant formulas are contaminated with glyphosate. One study reported levels between 0.03 mg kg−1 and 1.08 mg kg−1. This could potentially further exacerbate the problem of Bifidobacterium reduction in the infant gut.” This may be a factor for increasing Autism and ADHD rates.
