Big Pharma's only interest in society today is profit. Healthy people are of no use to them whatsoever, after all a healthy person does not need a cure. So bearing this in mind a few adverse reactions here and there do not worry the likes of Glaxo Smith Kline, Merck and Eli Lilly because where there is an adverse reaction there is the chance to prescribe another drug.

“More recent statistics show a 369 percent increase in spending on ADHD drugs for children under 5. From 2000 to 2003, the rise in the use of attention deficit drugs by children under 5 years contributed to an overall 23 percent increase for all children, according to an analysis by the nation’s largest prescription benefit manager, Medco Health Solutions.”

Didn't the manufacture of Ritalin put a little note that children under 14 were not to be given it? It causes muscle spasms of the eye too. Or did FDA approve for under 14?

The FDA states on its website that Ritalin is not approved for children under age six due to lack of research in that group. Nothing new.....

Easier then learning how to instruct the parent on how to nourish the child...and teaching the teacher and social workers why the child is having a melt down...damn little robots.
