re: Did you know that nearly a third of the boys are diagnosed with some form of ADD? I've mentioned before on this thread that boys are falling behind the girls in almost every educational metric. Meanwhile, kids today for the first time are getting adult onset diabetes and other adult diseases. Some are manifesting the early stages of coronary disease. Asthma has become epidemic. These are facts and not anecdotal observations. And its not just the poor kids.

That IS all very weird stuff. I was thinking back, and I can only remember one kid that I thought might have had ADD when I was in grade school. There is something going on, and my guess is that it is environmental (something in the water or air or food or something).

Is the same stuff happening in other countries?
