A group of scientists from the University
of Copenhagen in Denmark claim that there is some evidence in the
literature to support trying dietary changes in kids with ADHD.
According to professor Kim Fleischer
Michaelsen, “There is a lot to suggest that by changing their diet, it is
possible to improve the condition for some ADHD children."
I’d love to believe this is true.
And I also think it never hurts to try a
dietary manipulation to see if there’s any positive change in behaviour, but I
wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for that to occur.
Seems to me that to evaluate the benefit –
or lack of same – in kids with ADHD, what we first need is a much more accurate
way to diagnose the condition in.
