Interesting info, but I'd like to see detailed footnotes/endnotes to each of those claims made on the website. Sure, there are links to different studies, but I would like to see each individual claim backed up.
Whereas it is true that "kids" are getting "crazier" as far as diagnosis is concerned, I believe it is far more likely a result of trace amounts of all the Prozac, Zanax, Ritalin, etc. that has made its way into the public water supply in the past couple decades (and, no, I don't have an endnote to back that up, unfortunately - if you want more info on this I can dig something up). You see, artificial pharmaceuticals are designed specifically NOT to break down, and the public water supply's filters were never designed to filter out said substances.
Sure, a trace amount of a pharmaceutical might not do any harm if it is ingested once or twice, but consider the results if it is consumed every day with every glass of water, coffee, tea... you boil your pasta in it, you shower in it, you water the crops that you eat later with it. Eventually, there might be some long-term consequences
So what's the solution? Drink bottled water? Sorry, Jack, that might even be worse, because when bottled water is exposed to light, the chemicals from the plastic bottle leach into the water itself. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
