JANE KELLEY was thinking about Hello and keyed into cyberspace:
JK>MP>JK>That is because there is a difference in the results of varying
JK>MP>JK>causes of what today is known as ADHD.  Some are now insisting
JK>MP>JK>that this is a manifestation of food allergies simply because
JK>MP>JK>some of those affected have them.
JK>MP>Jane, the idea that diet causes ADHD has been debunked for well
JK>MP>over a decade. Remember the Foolsgold, oops, I meant Feingold,
JK>MP>diet? No scientific study every showed that it works. In fact, in
JK>MP>several of the studies, placebo worked better.
JK>Mark, one could do 10,000 studies on the wrong folks and not find a
JK>blessed thing.  One has to do them on those who are affected directly
JK>by allergies in order to prove anything.
Well, jane, the double blind, placebo controlled, studies were done on 
children who have ADHD. That certainly sounds like the right group. 
Other studies were done on ADH kids whose parents ***swore*** that the 
ingested substances caused hyperactivity.
All of the diets, especially those from the Cult of Feingold, showed an 
"effect" equal to that of placebo.
JK>Your opinion on this isn't shared by others including some who write
JK>to me.
I am sure that others have a differing opinion, based upon what they 
observe. No question in my mind. However, an anecdotal "proof" is no 
proof at all.
