Mercola: Link Between Vitamin D Deficiency and Autism – Interview with Rhonda Patrick Ph.D.

Mercola video: 2016 Full Interview with Biological Scientist Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D., about the link between vitamin D deficiency and autism.

Vitamin D gets converted into a steroid hormone that regulates over 1,000 different physiological processes, and controls around 5 percent of the human genome.

Vitamin D regulates a gene responsible for the conversion of tryptophan into serotonin. Serotonin is crucial during fetal brain development. When vitamin D is lacking, so is serotonin, which can produce neurological defects.

Vitamin D insufficiency may heighten maternal autoimmune responses by hindering tryptophan from being metabolized (by a second pathway) into kynurenine, which forms autoimmune-fighting T regulatory cells.
