Plastic causes ADHD???

    Research in South Krea has shown that phthalate, a common chemical found in plastic, is linked to ADHD.  The research may be tentative, but it has far-reaching implications.  It certainly helps explain the high rate of ADHD (obviously).  Personally, I think this research will eventually become a key moment in plastic safety.  Time will tell, however.  This claim might be debunked like an earlier one that claimed that phthalates cause feminine behavior in boys (although no one knows what feminine behavior is anyway, which is one reason the study was debunked.).
