By the age of 11, these same boys were over six times as likely to have developed autism.
What Is BPA?
BPA is a chemical plastic (also known as bisphenol). Bisphenols are in everything from takeout food containers to soda and coffee cup linings, the ink on receipts, and all the plastic we use daily.
The Good News?
Preclinical research using mice showed that a major component of royal jelly from honey bees contains an acid called 10HDA.
The 10HDA contained within royal jelly can be a potential nutritional intervention that supports estrogen-responsive elements that influence neuron production, thus reducing the harmful effects of bisphenol plastics.
Scientists are excited that we may be on the precipice of having a nutritional intervention that helps restore brain function in male children with autism.
Reversing autism with the power of honeybees? How buzz-worthy is that!?
