Since I have been studying the effects of diet on my behavior for over
25 years now, and have most recently downloaded an article linking all
kinds of addiction to the dopamine receptors in the brain, I suspect
that the quote above has been tampered with since I wrote whatever I
did.
I am only too well aware of the role remedial diet can play in both
mental illness and addiction......have one grandson on a food supplement
that is designed to enhance the lousy neurotransmitters he was born
with.
Incidently, the problem lies in the pleasure/reward system in the brain,
thus trying to find out what kids feel about anything is rather stupid,
and allowing them free reign in the school system is insane.
Some kids just do not respond appropriately to certain stimuli and look
for ways to "have a good time" that will get through the lousy brain
chemicals they were born with.  The adrenalin and insulin produced in
some of the more dangerous stunts that they pull seems to satisfy some
of them.
That also keeps emergency room personnel busy.
KA>As a matter of fact, nutritious whole foods are significantly cheaper than
KA>the
KA>processed junk that is so frequently blamed for ADD.
That isn't enough.  Tomatoes, wheat, and oatmeal are nutritious whole
foods and I am allergic to them and more.
 KA>I, by the way, am a serious case of ADHD and my mother
permitted neither jun
KA>food nor television in her household.
And as an adult, you now have the responsibility to find out what you
are allergic to before you learn the hard way.
Oh, I am also highly allergic to milk.
