Nonprofit group decrees that the effects of diet on the behavior of children continue to be ignored. In a review of 23 studies by the Washington D.C. based center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), they contend that the government, food industry, and medical professionals ignored evidence that some foods and additives may trigger symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In its research review, the CSPI found that 17 of 23 studies uncovered evidence that “some children’s behavior significantly worsens after they consume artificial colors of certain foods, such as milk or wheat.”
