Study shows ADHD symptoms reduced by avoiding processed foods

A recent study of 100 children diagnosed with ADHD showed that 63 percent of them were negatively affected by eating processed foods. Specialists around the world are discovering that highly processed foods, additives, and gluten trigger an increase in ADHD symptoms in children.
Food sensitivities, a form of allergy, can be measured by an IgG ELISA/EIA Food Allergy Test. IgG antibodies contribute to a variety of health problems, but are often more difficult to identify because the symptoms can occur within a few hours or even days after consuming the food. And, in the case of a gluten or dairy sensitivity, the offending food is an ingredient, making it more difficult to pinpoint.
Researchers in the INCA study determined that the supervised elimination diet is a valuable tool for assessing the impact of diet on ADHD. They also concluded that diets should not be prescribed solely on the results of the IgG blood tests. These findings concur with previous research that shows a strong correlation between poor nutrition and ADHD. Children whose diets contain foods that are high in preservatives, additives, and food colorings are at greater risk than those who eat a balanced, healthy diet.
