Pesticides in food linked to attention difficulties and hyperactivity in kids

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.
