Bull.  Alcoholism is a genetic disease, lady, as proven in twin studies
in both this nation and in Europe.  And the child who is ADHD or ADD
from such a family is a specific type of FAS, or mutant.

Right. And they can be put on a remedial diet at birth just as children
who test out positive for PKU or Down's syndrome can and avoid most of
the problems that develop otherwise.

That is because a complete medical history, dating back three
generations, and listing the family medical problems is rarely done
these days.
It takes time, and that means it takes money away from something else
that would mean more money...such as the prescription of one drug or
another.
That is a fast fix and very dangerous in the end.
