Mercury & Autism - Mercury, lead, and zinc in baby teeth of children ...[J Toxicol Environ Health A. 2007]
 

So who says mercury has nothing to do with autism? Take a look at this
paper, which shows a direct relationship.

Mercury, lead, and zinc in baby teeth of children with autism versus
controls.
Adams JB, Romdalvik J, Ramanujam VM, Legator MS.
Chemical and Materials Engineering, Arizona State University, Tempe,
Arizona, USA.

This study determined the level of mercury, lead, and zinc in baby teeth
of children with autism spectrum disorder (n = 15, age 6.1 +/- 2.2 yr) and
typically developing children (n = 11, age = 7 +/- 1.7 yr). Children with
autism had significantly (2.1-fold) higher levels of mercury but similar
levels of lead and similar levels of zinc. Children with autism also had
significantly higher usage of oral antibiotics during their first 12 mo of
life, and possibly higher usage of oral antibiotics during their first 36 mo
of life. Baby teeth are a good measure of cumulative exposure to toxic
metals during fetal development and early infancy, so this study suggests
that children with autism had a higher body burden of mercury during
fetal/infant development. Antibiotic use is known to almost completely
inhibit excretion of mercury in rats due to alteration of gut flora. Thus,
higher use of oral antibiotics in the children with autism may have reduced
their ability to excrete mercury, and hence may partially explain the higher
level in baby teeth. Higher usage of oral antibiotics in infancy may also
partially explain the high incidence of chronic gastrointestinal problems in
individuals with autism.

It shows a potential relationship. The number of subjects (26) is really
small for such a study. And it doesn't show cause at all.

At best, it is a suggestion that more studies should be done.

No -- which *suggests* a relationship. Very small sample size, not a
perfect match on ages, and most of the discussion is hypotheses.
Maybe they are on to something, maybe not, but even if they are, the
antibiotics, not mercury, would be the underlying cause. Still looks
mighty skimpy so far.
