Is ADHD Caused By Processed Food?
Hi..............So is it true that ADD or ADDHD is a result of dietary issues? Like, eating processed foods, lots of sugars, etc. can actually cause the problem? If a person were to eat more healthy, natural foods - like fresh vegetables and whole grains, fruits and small amounts of animal products like meat and dairy - would they be as hyperactive and inattentive? Thanks for your reply.
