There's something that I've always wanted to ask someone in the medical profession regarding the "epidemic" of ADD/ADHD we in the US seem to have on our hands. Do you think that in most cases, the ADD/ADHD symptoms that parents see are actually caused by most kids' diet of crap food (chicken nuggets, Lunchables, etc.) and lack of exercise? The reason I ask is because my cousin Steven was a real little terror, getting into fights, couldn't sit still--all of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD that I've read about. No amount of discipline administered by my Aunt Cheryl seemed to work, so in desperation she took him to the doctor. Doc asked, "How much sugar is in his diet?" Aunt Cheryl wasn't sure, so the doc had her keep a log for a couple of weeks of what Steven ate and then come back in to see him. She was amazed at how much sugar the kid was getting! Even stuff that she thought was healthy turned out to have lots of sugar in it. So the doc told her to cut Steven's sugar consumption in half and see if that helped. Aunt Cheryl did, and in a couple of months Steven was a whole different person. He was much calmer and his attention span/concentration really improved.
Personally, I think that a lot of parents with ADD/ADHD kids are actually in the same boat as my Aunt Cheryl; they are feeding their kids too much sugar, chemicals and other crap and that's making their kids all crazy. But I will defer to your expert opinion, DrDan. What do you think?
