Anyone know anything about this article?
http://www.news-medical.net/news/200911 ... utism.aspx
I'm dubious but wondering if anyone else has heard anything. I suspect they're just trying to make money from the pharmaceutical companies. It sounds too easy, but I haven't read the fulltext of the article yet.

EDIT:
Oh barf. This is more Wakefield BS! And their description of neurotransmitter uptake and G-Protein Coupled Receptors is so flawed as to be laughable. Ugh. I just hate that this sort of thing gets traction...

When I tried to follow the link, the page load just kept cycling, so I can't comment on the article itself.

However, "The Center For Modeling Optimal Outcomes"??? Sounds like somewhere you go when you want the data tweaked to reach the conclusion you've already decided on...
