Not so sure about that one... The one thing I know it means is that Mountain Dew doesn't cause cancer. I've never seen a cart of an Amish family in a grocery store that didn't have a few 24 packs of the stuff.boulderaggie said:
Good for them. We should all be eating their diet, using their medicines and vaccines, and emulating their physical activity. I bet they have a very low carbon footprint to boot. Seems like they have a lot of things figured out.

Not saying it isn't true, but way too many so called "news" sites out there which are BS and SlayNews just sounds like junk.

With a name like "CNN", it must be true!
You might be thinking of Mormons. Some Ordnung are stricter than others, so there might be some somewhere that don't allow caffeine, but there are some more lenient groups that even allow for drinking beer.Highway6 said:I thought they did not partake in caffeinePhatbob said:Not so sure about that one...

Steve Kirsch: “We Can’t Find an Autistic Kid Who Was Unvaccinated”

“The Amish are a perfect example of a large group of people who are largely unvaccinated,” testified @stkirsch to the Pennsylvania State Senate.

There is a reason Big Pharma has avoided paying over a Billion dollars in medical damages to people damaged by vaccines. Oh right, they have immunity! Tax payers have paid the damages.........C@LAg said:all vaccines are bad.beerad12man said:

FDA is bad.

Same for diabetes.Signel said:
It is not like cancer was unheard of before vaccines. I doubt this study heavily.

Quote:
Rates are based on the average number of people per 100,000 who developed the disease each year between 1996 and 2003.
The overall rate of cancer in Amish adults was 390, compared with 647 in the population at large.
The low rates of tobacco use among the Amish explained some of that, but not all. Rates of tobacco-related cancers were 82 for the Amish and 222 for others.
Quote:
From September 2008 to October 2009, 1899 Amish children were screened in the two Amish communities. A total of 25 children screened positive for ASD on either the SCQ or the DSM-IV-TR checklist. A total of 14 screened positive for ASD on both screeners. Of those 25 children, 14 were evaluated and seven children were confirmed as having a diagnosis of ASD using the ADI and/or ADOS, and clinical judgment. Interestingly, four of the seven only met ASD criteria on the ADOS but not the ADI. Three of the four who were not diagnosed by the ADI only missed criteria on the Behavioral Domain, which may be attributable to the reporting style of Amish caregivers.
Conclusions:
Preliminary data have identified the presence of ASD in the Amish community at a rate of approximately 1 in 271 children using standard ASD screening and diagnostic tools although some modifications may be in order. Further studies are underway to address the cultural norms and customs that may be playing a role in the reporting style of caregivers, as observed by the ADI. Accurate determination of the ASD phenotype in the Amish is a first step in the design of genetic studies of ASD in this population.
