I agree. Wit...Thanks for the comment Neuroskeptic.<br /><br />I agree. With all the chatter about the 'broader autism phenotype' one appreciates that a sibling only control group is probably not going to represent a great comparator; that and the very dynamic relationship present between our diets and our gut bacterial composition.Paul Whiteleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14288851488012254897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548560205914833324.post-44938806252019372232012-09-23T10:14:35.294+01:002012-09-23T10:14:35.294+01:00Interesting post.
