Kids that eat non-organic food that has been sprayed with pesticides are more likely to get attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A recent study done at Harvard University showed that pesticide metabolites were commonly found among the children in the study (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20478945). This study shows us that too many children eat foods with pesticides and gives yet another reason to buy organic food that is free from chemicals, such as pesticides and hormones.

The common allopathic treatment for ADHD is prescription stimulant medications, which are heavily prescribed and have extreme side effects. It seems obvious that BEFORE prescribing any medication that dietary changes which eliminate pesticides should be tried first.
 
 
Starting in the late 20th century, soy has been thought of as a health food in this country. Since then, research has shown that processed soy may be linked to several health problems, like allergies, thyroid disorders, and digestive trouble. Phytic acid in soy binds to certain minerals in our bodies, thus depleting them from our bodies. In addition, since soy is a phytoestrogen (has an estrogen-like role in the body), the regular consumption through soy milk, tofu, and other soy protein products, is linked to altering the menstrual cycle of women, lowering testosterone in men, and creating early menstruation in girls and delayed puberty in boys.

On the other hand, fermented soy foods, like tempeh, miso, tarami and soy sauces, and natto (if you like it!) block the effects of phytic acid and have great health benefits. The beneficial bacteria that are present in the fermented soy greatly affect the health of the digestive tract therefore increasing absorption of nutrients.

Generally I believe in moderation and it seems that soy in its many forms is very overdone, especially in the health food industry.  I recommend limiting consumption of soy and leaning towards eating only fermented soy.
