Actually no. In this case they went to great trouble to use kids in the NORMAL population. They were NOT comparing kids with and without ADHD. They were not skewing the tables towards kids who did or did not have ADHD. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, they did a good job. I...

I would be very pleased if you would point out any link that doesn't work. Indeed, I have found a couple along the way while answering you ... this happens when you link to other sites and their links change ... and I will be fixing them. If you have more broken links, kindly do let me know. I...

Jillio, I just noticed this comment in your post, and I can't ignore it. Dr. Arnold is a MEDICAL DOCTOR as well as a PROFESSOR EMERITUS OF PSYCHIATRY at Ohio State University. Yes, in addition, he has a Masters in Education. Since when is that a problem? He has been doing research for years...

Continued .... again, after the 1990's, they no longer really needed to show IF diet worked, but researchers began to unravel reasons WHY additives and other items in the diet affected the workings of the brain. It is the somewhat earlier studies that are probably the ones you want now that...

Since you ask . . . and remember many of these are not studies OF the Feingold diet, directly, but basic research helping one understand WHY such a diet would reasonably work . . . I have many (not all) of them as full studies, in my notebooks or posted on the site. Some you can find at Diet...

"Those that are defending this diet" == ? You mean there is more than just me around? Where are the rest of you? Yes, indeed, I came to this site because one of my volunteers wrote to tell me that they had seen misinformation and part of my job is to correct misinformation wherever it...

It's too bad you make statements about us without first actually reading what we say. We do not say anywhere on the website or person-to-person that the diet is a "cure" or that the parents should discontinue medication without a doctor's guidance. What we do say is that the diet is a test to...

The organization that promotes the diet? I suppose you are talking about the Feingold Association? While it is flattering that you think we might be sponsoring research published in all these famous and mainstream journals, we have never done so. We sponsor NO research. The fact that the...

(1) I have just re-read the entire article, and the activity of the children receiving drinks with coloring was compared to the activity of the children when they were receiving placebo. The children were put on an additive-free diet and given placebo drinks every day from the beginning...

Jillio -- we do not say that this study proves anything about ADHD. But what it proves is that synthetic petrochemical food dyes ARE NOT GOOD FOR KIDS. They DO have neurological toxicological effects. They DO affect attention and activity levels to some extent ... and that is an adverse...

Since you had pasted your various complaints into the quote of my post, I thought the best way is to use the same procedure to answer each one. So please see my answers to each complaint in blue inside the quote box above. I hope that it will clarify things. I am not your enemy, and I am...

Back in the 1990s, in college, I took a course in finding flaws in research. ALL research has flaws in it. And yes, it's great fun to find them, isn't it? That said, you have jumped the gun here. While this study was considered important enough to be epublished (i.e., in MedLine via...

The studies re diet and behavior I can see that you want studies. Not all studies on diet and behavior put the word "feingold" in their name - in fact, most of them don't. And I didn't help with the link I gave you since that page was uploaded in two places, and I gave you the wrong one...

My goodness -- first of all, there is no Feingold INSTITUTE. It is the Feingold ASSOCIATION which is a parent support group. It is a volunteer-based organization. Nobody gets any commissions or makes any big money. If only 2% of the people we help succeeded in getting better, we volunteers...

Replying to Jillio re the Feingold Diet This is in reply to the "victimized by the Feingold Diet" posting and the "Description" of the diet later posted by Jillio. Both are sourced at Quackwatch.com written mostly by Stephen Barrett, a retired (some say unlicensed) psychiatrist who claims to...
