[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 372004"] [B][U][URL="http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2010/07/31/Study-Western-diet-linked-to-ADHD/UPI-48001280613668/"]Study: 'Western diet' linked to ADHD - UPI[/URL][/U][/B] Australian researchers linked the "Western-style" diet -- processed, fried and refined foods -- and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Researchers at Perth's Telethon Institute for Child Health Research say a diet high in the Western pattern of foods high in fat, refined sugar and sodium -- is associated with more than double the risk of having an ADHD diagnosis compared with a diet low in the Western pattern. The study, published in the International Journal of Attention Disorders, suggests teens eating what the researchers characterized as a healthy diet -- lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains and fish and high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, folate and fiber -- provides mental health benefits and optimal brain function.
