great anecdotal evidence there, Barry!

I must say I do somewhat agree with Mary, that hypoglycemia can in fact present very similar symptoms to ADD/ADHD, and that nutrition can go a long way towards helping kids develop properly (and adults function at the top of their game). BUt I would imagine it is difficult to figure out which symptom belongs with which cause. A good start: get kids (and adults) eating properly and exercising and see if it helps.

Well-meaning parents feeding their overweight kids artificial sweeteners and things like "fat-free cheese" (huh??) are not helping matters...
