It takes time, but if you are suffering from ADHD and / or ADD, isn't it worth the work? It's also important to know which "healthy" foods tend to cause ADHD symptoms. Simple foods like apples, grapes, and tomatoes can wreak havoc not just on the person with ADHD, but also on all of the people around them: their family, friends, co-workers, teachers, and other students. Bill Moyers of PBS has done some excellent work investigating environmental toxins and their effects on children. Here's one link: http://www.pbs.org/now/transcript/transcript117_full.html. He also headed a documentary covering scientific evidence of pre-natal exposure to airborne toxins causing asthma, adhd, and an increased likelihood of childhood cancer.
