Everyday chemicals like fluoride and aluminum may raise autism risk by disrupting brain development. High fluoride intake in infants links to lower IQ and mitochondrial damage. Aluminum, found in cookware, packaging, and vaccines, crosses the blood-brain barrier, causing inflammation and neurotoxicity. Together, they form aluminofluoride complexes that disrupt cell signaling and amplify toxicity. Reducing exposure and eating antioxidants may protect brain health.
