I would point everyone to a June 1991 British Lancet article about a four-hospital based study out of Japan that implicates synthetic oxytocin in high rates of autism. Jacque Pansepp (sp?), with Bernie Rimland’s group, has studied that implication, as well, and the suggestion is that the synthetic item prevents the natural substance from doing its job; in our own experience with our four children and those birth outcomes, we would have to concur with that model.
