we have had many many foster kidds come to our home, many unmedicaed adhd with apts to be taken to get medication for adhd, as soon as i see this in files, i changed their diets, no sugar no caffien, in 7 cases all but 1 did not need the meds. all these kids now a days i feel are raised on too much sugar, take it away, i bet a lot of this adhd will lessen.
