Scientists find your choice of foods could be a sign of ADHD Your choice of food could be a sign of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), a new study has revealed.
The new study further investigated the relationship between ADHD and diet, finding that it's not just that diet influences the disorder, but that the disorder influences diet.
Previous studies have explored links between ADHD and diet, suggesting that an unhealthy diet mainly composed of processed and refined foods, added sugars, unhealthy fats and red meat increases the risk of developing the disorder.
A new study has found that 16 to 20-year-olds with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) tend to eat more snacks than those without the disorder.
Researchers analyzed the dietary behavior of young adults ages 16 through 20, finding those who reported they had ADHD consumed more foods like energy drinks, chips and fried foods than participants who did not have the diagnosis.
