How Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is Caused by Artificial Food Flavours and Colours.
This bestselling book has had an enormous impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of children who suffer from ADHD.
Dr Ben Feingold was an eminent pediatrician who specialised in children's allergies. He was the first person to report that hyperactivity in children is often caused by artificial food colouring and food flavouring. Dr Feingold made it his life's work both to further research in this area and to help children with a broad range of behavioural, physiological and neurological disturbances that seemed to be related to what they ate.
His theory was challenged by some specialists, but the diet he devised was taken up by families all over the world, and their favourable reports as well as their accounts of their children's improvement were overwhelming.
Dr Feingold's book contains detailed information about the Feingold Diet, how it should be applied, how infractions can be dealt with and what foods should be avoided.
Hyperactivity is a disruptive, heartbreaking condition. Many parents have reported that their children were helped by this diet, and Feingold Association members all over the United States are devoted to disseminating the program.
