With plenty of myths about what causes ADHD.  You may have heard of many of these, but there is no scientific proof that any of them are responsible for ADHD. 

Myths about the causes of ADHD:

*Too much Sugar              * Lack of Vitamins               *  Too little Sugar                * Television               

* Fluorescent Lighting       * Food Sensitivity                *  Video Games                   *  Allergies

* Food Additives/ Coloring                       * Aspartame

However, there is some evidence that the behavior of a small number of children, especially those under five, can be affected by what they eat or drink.

Children in rare instances have behavior difficulties after eating certain types of highly colored foods and substances such as aspartame.
