It's still a mystery, and parents and scientists alike are looking for answers about why some 5 million children in the United States have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a condition marked by impulsive behavior and a lack of focus. There have been genetic links shown, and plenty of accusations of misdiagnosis, but now the attention turns to a different explanation: Diet.
But the researchers did not pinpoint any specific foods that appear to induce ADHD symptoms, and their ideas must be explored further in other studies before being considered definitive, experts say.
"At this time it is very difficult to tell parents which foods to avoid," said Dr. Jaswinder Kaur Ghurman of the department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Arizona in Tucson, who was not involved in the study. It may vary by child, she said.

NO it doesn't come from foods I don't care what any scientist says I had it as a child and so does my daughter who was breast feed till she was 2. This story is total BS!!!
My Wife was a School Nurse serving a large area of one of the MD counties. There are more children on drugs for ADHD than need to be because the Government gives to the parents "free" money if those parents are "lucky enough" to have their children diagnosed with this disorder.
So.... SOME of the ADHD cases comes from greed. To the rest, may God bless you and may they get over it.
I think ADHD is an excuse for lack of parenting
ADHD has been called attention-deficit disorder (ADD) and hyperactivity. But ADHD is the preferred term because it describes both primary aspects of the condition: inattention and hyperactive-impulsive behavior.
While many children who have ADHD tend more toward one category than the other, most children have some combination of inattention and hyperactive-impulsive behavior. Signs and symptoms of ADHD become more apparent during activities that require focused mental effort.
In most children diagnosed with ADHD, signs and symptoms appear before the age of 7. In some children, signs of ADHD are noticeable as early as infancy.

Michelle is obviously speaking from an uneducated opinion.
