When European researchers found a link between artificial ingredients, carcinogenic proven food dyes like red 40 and red 3 and yellow 5 and 6, etc....with ADHD symptoms they banned them. In the USA over 7 million American children ages 3 to 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD and 6 million are on ADHD medications. Why don't European children have these types of diagnosis? It's not low iron. It's because unlike American children they don't eat chemicals disguised as " food". The McDonald's in Europe is made with different ingredients than the McDonald's in the U$A.

I agree Chris. These ingredients are also a big reason for ADHD diagnosis and should be removed from foods. But there can be other reasons. And in this case, I know this child was not one of those children consuming artificial ingredients. In some instances we can have nutritional deficiencies or sleep issues that can contribute to the cause as well.
