Major snippage... > I don't have any experience with ADHD children, but I > have plenty with hot* horses, and I guarantee you that > the type of grain supplement they receive _does_ My daughter has moderate to severe ADHD and I can tell you, without doing an expensive scientific study, that food definitely *does* affect her behavior. Not so much sugar as other types of additives. Most notably is peanut butter. She eats a PB sandwich and she is bouncing off of the walls. But yet, I give her a sandwich made from natural peanut butter that contains nothing but peanuts, and she is fine. Also foods that have MSG in them tend to set her off. Eating at a Chinese restaurant where they tend to overuse MSG is disastrous every single time. Gary
