"Every time Johnny eats lots of sugary foods, his symptoms of ADHD worsen, and he becomes irritable and hyper. I dread this season because Johnny turns it into unhappy days for everyone." Your doctor leans back in his leather chair and says, What your child eats has nothing to do with his behavior! There is no research that supports this idea. Think again. While some studies have found no correlation between sugar and increased hyperactivity in ADHD children, other studies on nutrition suggest that some [URL="http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/5143.html"]ADHD kids are "turned on" by copious amounts of sweet stuff[/URL].

A study conducted at [U]Yale University[/U] indicates that high-sugar diets may increase inattention in some ADHD kids. J was definitely more hyper tonight.
