Re: [unschoolingbasics] Ritalin -- correction

Apparently the study found that after only 3 months, every one of a dozen children (so 8.5%) treated with Ritalin had a three-fold increase in chromosome abnormalities associated with increased risks of cancer.

I misread that to mean 'one out of every dozen' which would mean 8%. Upon re-reading it, they actually said 'every one of the dozen children' in the study -- 100%! had a three-fold increase in abnormalities! Yikes!
