Could consumption of processed foods during pregnancy lead to autism? Researchers warn that a chemical used in processed foods to extend shelf life may change nervous system development in the fetal brain.
Naser told Medscape Medical News he was interested in understanding why children with autism disorders often get gastrointestinal disease. He says he was"intrigued" by reports that linkedproblems and higher levels of PPA in stool samples from children with the disorder.
In laboratory experiments, the UCF team found that exposing human fetal nervous system stem cells to high PPA levels disrupted the natural balance between brain cells by cutting the number of cells that change into neurons and by boosting the number that become glial cells, which are key parts of the nervous system.
