Here we go! The next big scare! Ban pesticides, ruin crops and the economy even further. Then in 20 years someone will go "OOOPPS, that wasn't a cause".

I think we should ban ADHD. Medical malpractice.

The best indicator as to whether or not a kid will have ADHD is whether or not their parents practice biblical correction.

Befor we dismiss this out of hand, remember there was a time we saw no harm in lead based paints, esbestos, or ddt.

I agree a GREAT deal of the problem is lack of parents’ ‘hands-on’ rearing of the children. But if you spend any time around these kids, you’ll soon believe there’s something more.

DDT, Chlordane, Chlorpyrophos, Diazinon, Myrex, and many other pesticides have been banned for years (some for forty years) and yet we still have many cases of ADHD. I think they haven't a clue what the primary cause is and are doing the PC thing to blame the same for publicity.

I believe it is overprescribed to sell pills but I also believe that it is real in some cases.

this could be part of the explanation of why so many kids have problems now that people think weren’t around in the good ol’ days when kids’ attention was gained by spanking

Clinical ADHD is organic brain damage, and pesticides on produce are compounds that could cause it or trigger it- among other chemicals our society has become doused in

I am not one bit suprized, our GMO Pharming, which includes pesiticides, in fact, plants are now in fact their own pesticides such that when bugs eat them they die ... “Big business no matter what” republicans will of course deny ... But I know better
