[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 234754, member: 3419"] MWM, you are correct, it is 1 in 250. I don't recall where I got the 1-in-4 #. Marg, you like research as much as I do. :) by the way, I once had a dr who insisted that allergies to antibiotics were not genetic, inherited, or otherwise related in families. I quit going to him. I wanted to live. :) The testosterone study is interesting because you don't know if the mother is producing too much of it, affecting the fetus, or if the fetus itself is producing it, or if there is some other factor altogether. Just that high levels are present. This may be an instance where we know just enough to make us dangerous. :) We have to wait for continued research on that topic. Mandy, so sorry about your aunt's celiac's not being diagnosis'd until so late. Sigh. At least doctors think to look for it more often now. Shari, yes, parabens are getting a lot of press lately. Those who poo-poo the theory insist that certain people are just highly senstive. But what they ignore is the slow buildup in our systems, and the things that can happen from cumulative effects. Yes, my husband and I talked about how many kids and even adults "back then" just died. Society's attitudes have changed a great deal and we do take care of differently abled people, including those who are physically handicapped, much better than we used to. We can afford it, personally and in society. Despite our complaints, there are social programs in place (that may or may not work) that simply did not exist many yrs ago. Daisyface, I agree. It's one thing to look at evolution overall and know that survival of the fittest is best, but when faced with-one of your own, it's heartwrenching. on the other hand, we've had some pretty famous talented people, including US presidents and British leaders, who have been handicapped, and not only suvived, but surmounted the odds.
