In a small but startling preliminary new study, Texas researchers have found that after just three months, every one of a dozen children treated for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with the drug methylphenidate experienced a threefold increase in levels of chromosome abnormalities-occurrences associated with increased risks of cancer and other adverse health effects.
myRemarks; anecdotially, I am 6'4" tall, I have three children from three different mothers of average height. Two of the three children (female), who haven't been medicated for ADHD are relatively tall. My son, who's taken the medications since age 5 is at age 19 shorter than his mother.
