A revolution has turned around Central Alternative High School in Appleton, Wisconsin, and its ‘problem kids’. Respect, achievement, and discipline prevail where once kids packed weapons, took drugs, and exhibited “terrible rudeness.” Before 1997 the teens, sent there from twelve area schools, ingested a slurry of behavior-altering chemicals that left them irritable, fidgety, and unable to concentrate. The culprit chemicals were not cocaine, speed, marijuana or heroin, but the industrial food additives found on grocers’ shelves.
