IIRC Link, you have mentioned on this list that you are gay and male. Chromosomes are only used in reproduction; do you forsee having children the old fasioned way ?This study was not blinded and there were no controls; all done by one doc in one community.
Toxins in the community could of caused the abormalities or lots of other things. Without controls it is hard to say what really happened here.Given that ritalin has been arround for over 30 years and at least millions have taken it I think
we would of seen this link by now.
