Peter Montague, ADHD AND CHILDREN'S ENVIRONMENT "Attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects somewhere between 10% and 15% of all school
children in the U.S. (1.8 million to 2.7 million children). ...
At a time when Americans are searching for causes of aggression and violence among
children, it would make sense to consider malnutrition, food additives, tobacco additives,
toxic metals, pesticides and other endocrine-disrupting industrial toxicants -- all of
which many U.S. children are exposed to from the moment of conception onward." RACHEL'S ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH WEEKLY #678 , ---December 2, 1999---
