It’s happened again at Fox. After taking down a story last year that was packed with misinformation about genetically modified foods–headlined “What you need to know"–Fox has now offered up another similarly underevidenced article, this time headlined “Can autism be prevented?”
Short answer: No, not usually.
In spite of that, the article goes longer and turns to one ‘Rober’ (sic) Melillo, who practices something called “chiropractic neurology.” The unbylined article says about autism: The statistic rates used to be one in 150 – so how did we get these new numbers? Dr. Rober Melillo, co-founder of the Brain Balance Achievement Centers, spoke with Dr. Manny Alvarez, senior managing health editor for FoxNews.com, about the science behind autism, as well the facts and myths surrounding the condition.
