I'd say more young wives tale today.  It is the younger ones who have
the guts to stand up to the so called experts and find things out for
themselves.
Incidently, I've supplied you personally with reference after reference
which you insist upon twisting around and perverting to suit your own
set of firmly set in granite ideas on this and other subjects. There is
no room in them for what the young folks are finding out today.
My latest excursion into the net on ADD was yesterday, reached
http://www.nici.com/nutrition/reference.htm which you really should take
the time to check out.  The first one on the list was from the
prestigious British journal, listed under "Food sensitivities and
AD/HD:"
  J. Egger.  Controlled trial of oligoantigenic treatment in
  hyperkinetic syndrome.  LANCET, March 19, pp. 540-45.
The rest of the list is from equally prestigious medical journals.
Don't be among a dwindling minority of individuals whose information
dates back too far to be of much use in the diagnosis and treatment of
this condition.
