Study: All Children Hyperactive
CHICAGO (DPI) - Novartis Pharmaceuticals, makers of the drug Ritalin, have completed a study which conclusively shows nearly all children suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in classroom situations. Children ages 4 to 16 of both sexes were instructed by a teacher to sit quietly with their heads down in a classroom that simulated being consumed by fire. Despite the teacher's repeated warnings, nearly 98 percent of the children exhibited behavior from "extremely fidgety" to "defiant." Some were even so disruptive as to leave the classroom completely. Based on these results, the drug maker and schools have declared Ritalin a "food supplement" and plan to provide it at all school meals. |
