"There is NO downside," this article states, "to adopting a healthy eating program." Very true, but that MAY be the only true statement on this page. Diet has not been conclusively scientifically linked to ADD/ADHD. In fact, the evidence tying commonly-suspected culprits such as sugar and food additives to ADHD is very, very weak at best. What's more, the elimination-style diet advocated on this page is just bizarre (no yellow foods?) and may even be harmful. I suspect the authors of this page may themselves be on a special diet: all bologna.
