>> COULD BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST
BREAKTHROUGHS IN DIAGNOSING
AUTISM, SCIENTISTS HAVE TAKEN
THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD
GROUNDBREAKING TESTS THAT COULD
LEAD TO EARLIER DETECTION.
WHAT DID PARENTS NEED TO KNOW?
DOCTOR NICOLE SAFIRE, THIS IS
FASCINATING AND AMAZING NEWS FOR
SO MANY FAMILIES OUT THERE.
>> EXTREMELY EXCITING, VERY
HAPPY ABOUT THIS, THIS STUDY
CAME OUT OF THE UK RECENTLY BUT
WHAT THEY ARE SHOWING IS THERE
WILL POTENTIALLY A BLOOD AND
URINE TEST FOR DETECTING AUTISM.
IT IS HARD ON THE ROAD BUT THIS
IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE AUTISM HAS
A WIDE
IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE AUTISM HAS A WIDE ARRAY OF THE BEHAVIORAL
SYMPTOMS.
SOMEONE HAS TO SUSPECT SOMEONE
HAS AUTISM AND THEN THEY HAVE TO
UNDERGO SERIES OF BEHAVIORAL
TESTS.
THERE IS NOTHING DEFINITIVE,
NOTHING CONCRETE OR OBJECTIVE
SAYING SOMEONE HAS AUTISM OR
SOMEONE DOESN'T SO THIS STUDY IS
EXTREMELY EXCITING AND
WILL DIAGNOSE EARLIER AND
POTENTIALLY GIVE THESE CHILDREN
AND THEIR FAMILIES BETTER
QUALITY OF LIFE.
>> CURRENTLY YOU ALMOST NEED TO
WAIT FOR THE CHILD TO DO, QUOTE,
NORMAL CHILD THINGS THEY WOULD
BE DOING AT A CERTAIN AGE OF
DEVELOPMENT BEFORE YOU CAN
FIGURE IT OUT.
WHEN A BABY COMES OUT THEY ARE
NOT DOING MUCH.
>> PEDIATRICIANS ARE IN TUNE
WATCHING FOR SIGNS OF THIS AND A
LOT OF PARENTS KNOW THEIR
CHILDREN BUT A LOT OF TIMES IT
IS DELAYED DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE
BEHAVIORAL ISSUES IN SCHOOL.
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT
EARLIER.
>> THIS IS GREAT STUFF, GREAT
NEWS, THIS IS NOT SO GREAT NEWS
BECAUSE I LIKE TO CLEAN.
A FREAKY STUDY ON HOW PRODUCTS
IN YOUR HOUSE YOU'RE USING TO
CLEAN IF YOU USE THEM ENOUGH CAN
BE LIKE SMOKING 20 CIGARETTES A
DAY.
>> TOBACCO CAUSES CANCER AND
LUNG DISEASE AND A LOT OF
STUDIES HAVE TOLD US THE
CHEMICALS IN CLEANING PROPERTIES
ARE HARMFUL.
THIS STUDY IN PARTICULAR HAS
LOOKED AT THE LONG-TERM EFFECTS
AND THEY ARE SAYING IT IS
EQUIVALENT TO ABOUT 20
CIGARETTES A DAY FOR 10 TO 20
YEARS BUT THESE ARE REALLY
LIMITED TO PEOPLE IN THE
CLEANING INDUSTRIES OR WHO ARE
USING CLEANING PRODUCTS AT HOME
ON A DAILY BASIS.
IRRITANT CHEMICALS IN YOUR
INHALING THEM AND IT INSTRUCTS
YOUR MUCOUS MEMBRANES CAUSING
REMODELING OF CELLS, LONG-TERM
CONSEQUENCES SO FOR THE MOST
PART YOU CAN USE A MICROFIBER
RAG WITH WATER, MAYBE A LITTLE
BIT OF VINEGAR AND THAT SHOULD
BE ENOUGH, YOU DON'T NEED THOSE
HARSH CHEMICALS UNLESS YOU ARE
TRYING TO DISINFECT.
CONSIDER USING GLOVES.
>> MEN DIDN'T SEEM TO BE AS
EFFECTIVE.
>> THERE ADMITTED BY RISK, THERE
ARE NOT OF MEN IN THEIR
POPULATION.
>> YOU ARE SAYING I CAN GO BOOZE
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE SHOW
BECAUSE IT IS HEALTHY.
>> AN APPLE A DAY MAY KEEP THE
DOCTOR AWAY BUT IT IS POSSIBLE
GLASS OF WINE OR BEER NOW AND
THEN MAY MAKE YOU LIVE LONGER
AND THIS ONE STUDY WHICH IS A
GREAT STUDY OUT OF CALIFORNIA,
LONG-TERM EFFECTS, WHY PEOPLE
ARE LIVING LONGER, THEY LOOKED
AT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE 90 AND
ABOVE AND SAID WHAT HAVE YOU
DONE?
THEY HAD ONE TO TWO GLASSES OF
WINE OR BEER A DAY SHOWING AN
18% INCREASED CHANCE OF SURVIVAL
OF LIVING LONGER AND THERE ARE
OTHER THINGS AS WELL.
IF YOU HAVE A HOBBY, MORE THAN
TWO HOURS A DAY, THAT INCREASED
LONGEVITY.
ONE THING WITH ALCOHOL.
WE KNOW BEER IS GOOD FOR BONE
HEALTH, ANTIOXIDANTS IN WHITE
WINE AND DECREASE CARDIOVASCULAR
DISEASE AND STROKE, ONE OR TWO
GLASSES OF SOMETHING A DAY MIGHT
BE PRETTY GOOD FOR YOU BUT
ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT NOT GOOD
FOR YOU.
>> YOU ALWAYS HEAR THESE
STUDIES, A LADY IS 110 YEARS
OLD, TWO GLASSES OF WINE.
