A neurodevelopmental condition affecting approximately 1 in 36 children (US CDC 2023 estimate), characterized by differences in social communication, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors. From a metallomics perspective, ASD presents a compelling convergence of…
Bifidobacteriaceae is the family containing bifidobacterium and related genera (alloscardovia). It is the dominant family in the healthy infant gut and a significant commensal family in adults. Family-level depletion is documented in ASD (marked reduction of Actinobacte…
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common motor disability in childhood, affecting 2-3 per 1,000 live births allen 2021 multi organ dysfunction cerebral palsy. Characterized by non-progressive disturbances in movement and posture arising from injury to the developing brain…
This page unifies the infant formula contamination, pregnancy complications, autism spectrum disorder, necrotizing enterocolitis, and neurodevelopmental toxicity threads around a single organizing insight: metal toxicity is disproportionately severe during specific deve…
lead (Pb) has no safe level of exposure. Unlike most dietary metals, lead does not play any known biological role — every atom absorbed represents toxic burden. While environmental lead exposure (paint, soil, air) has decreased dramatically since leaded gasoline phase-o…
A synthesis of how dietary heavy metal exposure varies across the human lifespan, highlighting that the same metals present different risks at different developmental stages due to changing absorption rates, detoxification capacity, dietary patterns, and organ vulnerabi…
Food is the primary source of nickel exposure for the general (non-occupational) population. While food nickel poses minimal risk to most adults, children and nickel-sensitized individuals are high-risk groups.

A transition metal occupying a central position in this wiki's evidence base. Nickel is toxic and carcinogenic to humans, yet an essential cofactor for pathogen virulence enzymes. It is the most frequent contact allergen worldwide and drives a wide spectrum of systemic …
A severe neuropsychiatric disorder affecting approximately 1% of the global population, characterized by positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions), negative symptoms (anhedonia, social withdrawal, flat affect), and cognitive deficits. Life expectancy is reduced by 1…
A Gram-negative intracellular pathogen causing bacillary dysentery (shigellosis), responsible for approximately 165 million illness episodes and over 1 million deaths annually, predominantly in children under 5 in developing countries. S. flexneri relies on nickel-depen…

Fish is the primary dietary source of methylmercury (MeHg) -- a potent neurotoxin that crosses the blood-brain barrier, depletes glutathione, and can increase amyloid-beta production and tau phosphorylation mercury. MeHg is 95-100% absorbed in the intestinal tract. An e…
