"When children between the ages of 4 and 8 were placed on a diet containing no processed foods for five weeks, ADHD symptoms diminished in 78 percent of them. And, when suspected trouble foods were reintroduced into the diet, two-thirds of the children experienced a relapse in symptoms."

And here is a link to the study published in The Lancet on Feb. 5: http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(10)62227-1/fulltext
