Put to Rest the FACT that diet helps ADHD

Thank you for another outstanding article, Jan. I know for a fact
that this will resonate with many people! The pretend-skeptics who
act as if diet has no effect on mental health are now totally
discredited!! Many research laboratories, including the one I am
associated with, have definitely proven that diet alone can cure ADD
in record time!!

Hats off to you once again, Jan. Hopefully this will shut-up the
crack-pot cult that infiltrates these public health-care groups. Ann,
that means YOU!!!

ADHD: oatmeal, seeds & berries
06/12/2007 07:19 AM
Just when I thought my oatmeal-cookie oatmeal* couldn't get any better, it
can. I'm taking a breath from yet another research session and those
tenacious nutritional scientists have found that adding vitamin E and C to
extra long chain fatty acids such as flax or fish oil improves inattention
and disruptive behavior. The antioxidants improve the cell's membrane fatty
acid composition.

Supplementation with flax oil and vitamin C improves the outcome of
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

"There was a significant improvement in the symptoms of ADHD reflected by
reduction in total hyperactivity scores of ADHD children derived from ADHD
rating scale"

EFA supplementation in children with inattention, hyperactivity, and other
disruptive behaviors. (Essential fatty acid and vitamin E supplementation)

"Interestingly, significant correlations were observed between the magnitude
of increase in alpha-tocopherol concentrations (vitamin E) in the red blood
cells and a decrease in scores of the teachers' destructive behavior
disorder's scale (hyperactivity, attention, conduct and oppositional/defiant
disorder)"

Strawberries are rich in vitamin C and sunflower seeds are rich in vitamin
E.

Parents: Your child's teacher will love you if you make this breakfast
regularly! (Plus this is a great start to any family's day.)

Teachers: Carry on and serve this as a snack before the children's work
cycle. Guaranteed to inspire a classroom that hums with joy and attention.

Thanks for the laugh. This article is a blog post. There is a link the
author's site, where she is trying to sell stuff. The post has zero
scientific validity. The recipe for the cookies does look good, however.

A good diet helps any child because it is nominally beneficial.

Interesting that this was written by a Montessori educator. The
Montessori education system has long been supporting the idea that
what kids eat has an impact how they function in school. Over a
decade ago, my friend's son could not bring candy, pop, or other junk
food in his school lunch at a Montessori school. The school also
urged parents to feed their children good food at home, too.

Another friend is a teacher in a regular public school. She dreads
the day after Halloween because she says her students show up all
hyped up on candy.

What kids eat will have an effect on how they do in school. Nutrition
is important for everyone, especially children; I'm glad to see that
spelled out in an article
