Strongly disagree. I've chaperoned school field trips and watched the behavior change after the junk in their lunch bags is consumed. I've watched them after their Valentine's Day or Halloween goodies are eaten. And, the primary sweetener for decades (coincidental with the rise in ADD/ADHD, by the way) is corn syrup, a seed product (not sugar - read the labels). Then, go search: ADHD food, and see what you find. Corn product/sweetener is in everything these days (baby formula, cereals, snacks, soda, juice-boxes, candy, baked goods, cooking oil). Do you suppose little, growing bodies might possibly react to being saturated daily by a particular seed food? But, I'm sure the Corn Growers Association can prove otherwise.

I agree. When my son has something with High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, he goes bananas.

But, I'm sure the Corn Growers Association can prove otherwise. I forgot to include drug companies. Need to keep those school medicine cabinets full of Ritalin-LA, Adderall-XR, Concerta, Metadate-CD, Strattera, Focalin, Atomoxetine, Modafinil. Hey, it's a $1B/year business drugging those kids.
