Incidences of Celiac disease among children are also skyrocketing. If the numbers of severe allergy, autism, and other autoimmune problems keep growing the way they are, we'll hit a crisis point in just another 5 years or so. They'll start pouring money into research because they'll have no other choice.

Here's a terrifying statistic: if not a single additional autistic child were ever born from this point onward, the number currently alive today is already enough to bankrupt the health insurance industry if they all made it to adulthood without enough significant progress to become independent and productive members of society.
