How can dieting prevent a condition that's not acquired and you have to be born with? I'm annoyed at this trend where everyone thinks "dieting" is the magic pill for everything. There's almost never one magic solution to all your problems.

Kirsch cites other conditions- “You won’t find kids with ADD, autoimmune disease..."; "You just don’t find any of these chronic diseases in the Amish.” Those I believe to be diet related. Look at the ingredients lists on so much available on supermarket shelves and research foods in the U.S. that are banned in other countries.

Special attention should be paid to preservative, dye and sugar-laden breakfast cereals marketed to children. We are poisoning them.

You can get autism from brain injury as well.

Proper autism that is, not just being a weirdo no one likes.

Still, how is dieting supposed to help with that?
