This make me ill.

"The recommendations were greeted positively by many cardiologists and pediatricians, who say that earlier testing is warranted, especially in the face of increasing childhood obesity and diabetes. "

Instead of LOOKING for reasons to start treating more people with drugs, why aren't we engaging in changing the things that cause obesity, diabetes, and heart disease? We already know what they are and more drugs, surgery, or radiation aren't going to help. Changing behavior will.

Don't tell me how difficult it is to make kids eat right and exercise. Yes, popping a pill is easier, but where has that strategy gotten us?

Admit it. If we continue to do what we've always done, we'll continue to get more of what we already have. There aren't any drugs that will help. Never have been and never will be.
