ADHD and Food additives in Australia

There has long been debate about whether food additives can cause health problems, particularly hyperactivity and learning disorders in children. Whilst the scientific studies have often been inconclusive I am very much of the opinion that food additives should be avoided as much as possible. Children with ADHD particularly need to avoid these. The problem can be getting information on which particular ones to avoid.

Enter the Food Additives Network. This organisation has great information about food additives and their effects. Their main website is: http://www.fedupwithfoodadditives.info

and they have a great list of the main additives to avoid here:
