In reply to So the question is - does ritalin cause cancer, posted by madeline on November 26, 2006, at 6:44:46
I would have some questions.
For instance, how long were the sample patients taking stimulants or ritalin? How many sample patients were taking such drugs?
Damaged chromosomes will not equate to cancer overnight. Hence studying children who have taken the drug in the past 10 years wouldn't mean anything.
I would be looking for samples of the people who had been exposed to the drug 50 years ago to see if there is any increased incidence of cancer.
