Dental researchers coated damaged cows’ teeth with an enamel binding peptide and soaked them in a mineral solution to reform their protective outer layer.

      Ingestion of this peptide likely needs to go through safety studies first though. Sounds like it would be good as a toothpaste + mouthwash combo though.

      Too many people are already screaming “fluoride = autism” I think they would just go even more insane.

        Really? Now it’s not just vaccines but fluoride too?

        Amazing.

        It’s more likely the microplastic and other garbage embedded in our innards from an environment saturated with bad for us items, but, you can say no to fluoride and vaccines which is why they are chosen. If you have no control over it at base, then it won’t be chosen as the culprit behind autism.

        One piece of data that is compelling: old eggs. I don’t like it either, but there it is. The older our eggs sit in transition, from birth to old age, the worse they get. They do have a shelf life. Sure, you can play the odds and win, but the odds of a perfectly health pregnancy and child go down with age. It’s an unpalatable fact of life.

        Old sperm is an even more robust bit of data, linked to autism. But that’s an unpalatable idea, and we can’t fix aging.

        Vaccines are easier to pick on so they are.

          It must be something that isn’t giving autism, otherwise you can’t spin a conspiracy around it …
