Stoppa pressarna: Kosthållning inte största faktorn till barns hyperaktivitet

University of Wales i Swansea har genomfört en studie gällande vad som orsakar hyperaktivitet hos barn och kommit fram till:

A review of scientific evidence found only a minority of children were actually affected by what they eat. A combination of food, genetics and environmental toxins are more likely to be involved, with no single factor to blame.

Professor David Benton sammanfattar resultatet:

"Parents say after an hour of eating sugary foods that their child is distracted and fidgety, but studies show that this is more what the mother expects to see and not what’s really going on."

Mest intressant i sammanhanget är naturligtvis att det säger en hel del om debattklimatet att en sådan här studie har något som helst nyhetsvärde.
