PRENATAL DIET SODA TRIPLES AUTISM RISKS!

Boys impacted more than girls

PREGNANT or breastfeeding gals who consume diet sodas — or other foods and drinks containing the artificial sweetener aspartame — may be tripling the risk of their sons having autism, a new study warns.

Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio found the mothers of boys diagnosed with the condition were three times as likely to report having at least one diet soda daily than moms who had children with typical neurological development.
