I'm trying to reply to "Mutations often (?) caused by environmental hormone disruptors" by Buzz1397.

Often repeated is the notion that "genetic epidemics" don't occur

because genes don't change that rapidly. However, findings in recent

years have documented an abundance of de novo mutations in humans. Is

the fact of more than 80,000 untested chemicals making a contribution?

Autism serves as an example.

Words like environment and environmental do not appear in the

Sci Amer article. For an excellent overview, see Jill Escher's essay:

De novo mutations in PD are being studied. EDCs may not be the only chemical capable of injuring the human genome in vivo.
