HYPERACTIVITY? WHEN WILL WE GO NATURAL

Dr. Pidutti has written an article in the Now You Know section of Baby Purity www.babypurity.com/now/2009/08/hyperactivity-go-natural.html about the link between ADHD and preservatives in our foods. You may have heard this one before yet still the answer to many ADHD children still seems to be a pill to solve their issues. Scares me to think how many different prescriptions our children will be taking by the time they reach adulthood. When will we as a society and in our general medical community take some strong looks at nutrition to solve our children's ailments?

The preservatives in the study were : sodium benzoate plus the dyes Sunset yellow, carmoisine, tartrazine and Ponceau 4R which increased hyperactivity in both age groups.
