Do food additives influence ADHD?


Try: the educational book, the How To (Temporarily) Cure Hyperactivity book (about Inattentive ADHD relief) (Wild). Caffeine works for some with ADHD; food additives in FDA approved medicines and foods need better ingredient labels. About 1 in 15,000 persons can be extremely sensitive to a few food additives which can affect their cognition for better or for worse. Food additives do not cause ADHD. A few food additives can affect things like: imagination, peripheral vision, energy levels, wakefulness/sleep, facial complexion, wound healing, etc. A few food additives act in a few people (not all people) as powerful, undisclosed drugs (and not inert, neutral substances). Most persons are not sensitive to common food additives at all; only a very, very small number of people are. With improved ingredient labeling, they can make better choices for themselves.
