It seems puritanical and harmful to a child's sense of self to deny them candy. I could get behind this if the recommendation was to limit sugars or to be mindful of glycemic index and glycemic load but the notion that children with ADHD should be denied something that all children love leads me to wonder whether you are trying to make healthy well-adjusted children or whether the attempt is simply to make parents feel more in control and on top of their children's ADHD.

You forgot to mentions sugar is also in fruits and everyday carbs like rice pasta and bread

What about adults? Do these same rules apply? Are the effects as significant?

I'm ten and have adhd I have always eaten many of these things and doing so has not affected how I act, I have learned to control my adhd. it is not a nutritional problem and there are many way to help slow down and calm down I do take melatonin to help me sleep but that's it, no pill no drugs no diet it's that simple
