IMO, nutrient deficiencies are largely(but not solely)to blame for everything from certain mental illnesses to plain attention disorders in children. It's the old adage: Garbage in, garbage out. Plus, as with tobacco, we must condition our youth from a young age to dose themselves, because as Boomers die off, there will be a huge drop-off of revenues to pharmaceutical manufacturers otherwise. And that's not CT; it's long-term industrial fiscal planning sad smiley

Thanks for posting.

That is a truly shocking statistic. And then there's millions of children who take antibiotics probably more than once a year for ear infections, etc., setting them up for chronic illness thru destruction of healthy intestinal bacteria.

It's a fallen world.

I'm the cynic here, and I beg you people, please, let us not start the new year out in despair! The world is not fallen, only certain aspects of our civilization, and not beyond correction.

Honestly, I thought it would be higher since they're including asthma and ADD meds. It often seems to me as if more people (kids too) than not are medicated.

Thankfully I am involved in an online discussion group of local natural parents so my view of children's health is a bit more positive. Some of us are doing well smiling smiley.
