This is shocking....50%!!!!! of children born in the U.S...the study that is referred to is from 2001...from the same link:


"A recent study released by the National Academy of Sciences found that 50% of children born in the U.S. suffer from birth defects, developmental disorders, or are otherwise chronically unhealthy(82). A recent government study in Canada also found significant increases in neurological or allergenic developmental disorders over the last 2 decades(132). Large numbers of peer-reviewed studies have found that the majority of such developmental neurological disorders such as ADD, dyslexia, autism, schizophrenia, other mood disorders, and learning disabilities are primarily caused by prenatal and neonatal exposures to toxic metals or other toxics[A]. Common exposures have been documented for mercury(vaccines, Amalgam fillings, fish), lead(paint, soil, water fixtures), arsenic(treated wood, pesticides,shellfish,other foods), aluminum(processed food,pans), cadmium(shellfish, paint,piping), antimony(Scotch guard), manganese(soy milk,welding, metal works). All of these are documented to be extremely neurotoxic[A]."
