Aldehyde Toxicity in Autism Spectrum Disorder: The Therapeutic Potential of Micronutrient Supplementation

I found the info on neonatal jaundice particularly interesting, for the obvious reason: I was born with neonatal jaundice, which mama told me made me a " ....particularly adorable ..." new-born, eradicating the usual red-faced condition of the newly arrived. The article's info gave me a new view of that, and its possible ramifications in relation to this incredibly unwelcome shambolic houseguest of an illness .....
