I totally agree with this, but I didn’t know this myself until mine
were just to old for it to work with. But if you start off when they
are babies with this type of diet I think it would be great for any
kid not just those that are adhd. in fact those parents that already
eat like this before having kids may have “normal” kids were as if
they ate all the junk they would of been adhd.
