New research suggests that mom’s inflammation during pregnancy contributes to a higher risk of autism.
Inflammation was measured by the amount of C-reactive protein (CRP) in a pregnant woman’s blood.
Results were striking:
- Pregnant women with CRP in the top 20th percentile have a 43% increased risk of having a child with autism.
- Pregnant women whose CRP is in the top 10th percentile have a whopping 80% higher risk of having an autistic child.
If you have any kind of chronic allergies, asthma, chronic runny nose, autoimmune, rashes, pain, swelling, digestive issues, etc., you have chronic inflammation.
