Autism and GMOs? Part 2

In the last post, I was exploring a possible relationship between gut inflammation, autism, and GMOs. Is there a connection? We already saw that in the developing world, autism rates have not been significantly rising (or at least reported). GM crops have been on the rise, however, throughout the developing world.

According to www.isaaa.org/:
The 5 lead biotech developing countries are China, India, Brazil, Argentina and South Africa – they grew 46% of global biotech crops, and have ~40% of world population.
Brazil ranks second only to the USA in biotech crop hectarage in the world, with 36.6 million hectares, and ... grows 21% of the global hectarage of 170 million hectares.... (2012).
If there is an autism-GMO connection we may be seeing it soon in the developing world.
