Less Zinc Cause Autism

Scientists in Japan claim one child cause autism is the lack of intake of zinc into the body.

This is seen in the analysis they made of 2,000 children with autism, which is then measured by the hair sometimes zinc.

They found nearly a third of these children have little content of zinc in the body. Even in severe cases of children with autism aged one to two years, has only one twelfth the amount of zinc than it should. Researchers also feel this could be a new hope at least for the treatment or prevention of autism.

"However, a more specific follow-up study is necessary, because children with autism have problems feeding themselves, such as lack of desire to eat, and the habit of chewing a long time. So it is not always something that can be associated with disease is the cause of the disease" explains Professor Dorothy Bishop, from the University of Oxford responded to this study.
