Food Additives and Hyperactivity in Children

Can hyperactivity be linked to diet?  Seems there is a new study that has perked everyone's attention and could potentially influence food policy in Canada.  Here is an article if you haven't come across it yourself yet. 

I have not read the primary research, but I echo Dr Edward Hallowell's sentiments.  He is the leading ADHD guy and his approach includes getting some real basics in place that are often missing in families:  good eating, good sleeping, order and routines etc...   

I often refer to the expression "children who feel good, do good".  That includes emotional and physical wellness.  I know eating balanced wholesome, fresh prepared food is a good healthy start for all children - regardless of how much they like to talk, interrupt, jiggle and bounce.
