i came by a very interesting piece of research yesterday,it always pays to keep an eye open on the medical websites.

Apparently  scientists have been giveng amphetamines to adolescent mice. The results are tht these impairs memory function when they are older.

This piece of information has huge implications for giving adolescent children Ritalin type medications which have the same effect.

This is another side effect to add to the list. What is scary about all of this is that it has taken 30  years to find this out. How many other side effects are there they still haven't been discovered. For example we are now looking at second generation ADHD diagnosed. How much of the heriditary factor and genetic damage is due to the effects of the drugs? We know that the artifical sweetener Aspartame damages DNA!

Now Ok, there may well be side effects they didn't know about like the whole memory 'thing' but what about the side effects they do  know about but haven't disclosed. Now call me a sceptic if you like but we do live in a remarkable age, where information is now readily available to all!
