Excerpt:
May 19, 2010 — Repeated exposure to pesticides, such as occurs with occupational use, is associated with an increase in the risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in late life, according to an observational study published in the May issue of Neurology.
The researchers, led by Kathleen M. Hayden, PhD, from Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, used data from the Cache County Study of Memory Health and Aging and found associations between occupational pesticide exposure and both dementia and AD.
Dr. Hayden told Medscape Neurology that the clinical implications of the study are not yet clear. “This is an observational study and it suggests an association from repeated pesticide use. Further study is needed to determine if there is a causal link,” she noted. “Ideally, pesticides should be studied in a setting where they are routinely used and the exact exposures can be verified, such as in an agricultural study.”

Here is the link to an outstanding webinar on Autism where I was the moderator https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/330944962. Dr. Renee Tocco has organized the PowerPoint with super efficiency and added graphics to many of the slides that will make this webinar very informative for patients where so much of this is news and, therefore, hard for them to comprehend when first presented.
This is a great group doing wonderful work in Autism. Please seriously look at their program and speakers, as I assure you if you get there you will be very glad you made the effort, as there is so much to learn and they have the total approach that I endorse.
