recent studies suggest that certain dietary interventions may be of some benefit and might be worth considering. Several recent studies found that artificial food coloring additives may increase hyperactivity. Supplements with omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may be of some benefit -- in some children.

In general, current recommendations are that all children -- regardless of whether or not they have ADHD -- eat a balanced diet heavy on fruits and vegetables and low on fatty junk food. If you find that certain dietary measures help your child, and they are not unreasonable from a nutritional point of view, they may well be worth pursuing. But I would not recommend replacing better-proven therapies with diet changes alone.
