factual accuracy

The original article sounded like it was taken straight out of a brochure, which leads me to question the factualness of these topics. In particular the statements regarding "Comprehension Enhancer", "mental processing", "understanding", "Mental Energy" none of which have any definite meaning. No drug can induce understanding or comprehension (unless I have missed out on some 'major' breakthrough), and there is no current way (that I know of) to quantify what mental processing and mental energy are. Therefore I am removing these undefined buzzwords from the article. I will leave in the "increases the brain's electrical firing rate", and "boosts glucose metabolism" because it sounds reasonably plausible. --ANONYMOUS COWARD0xC0DE 04:29, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not MEDRS

All of the text and references for health effects are to individual clinical trials - not WP:MEDRS. These should be deleted and replaced with content based on review articles. David notMD (talk) 13:04, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the text and refs, leaving Effects section blank. David notMD (talk) 14:54, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
