Juice Given the GREEN Light for
KidsGood news: Although several studies have
suggested that drinking fruit juice might contribute to overweight
children, a review of 21 studies found that the link was not weak.
"There is no systematic association between consumption of 100%
fruit juice and overweight in children and adolescents," said the
study's authors in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine
(2008).

Food
Additives and Childhood Hyperactivity
|
| According to research recently published in
the British Medical Journal (BMJ 2008; 336: 1144), eliminating food
additives should be part
of a standard treatment program. "Despite the lack of agreement on
the effect of dietary modifications on hyperactivity in children,
increasing evidence suggests that eliminating food preservatives
and artificial colorings from a child's diet may help."
Another study published in the Lancet
last year (2007;370:1560-67) found that artificial colors and/or
sodium benzoate preservative in the diet led to increased
hyperactivity in 3, 8 and 9 year-old children who did not have
ADHD- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Suggested tips for parents include considering and
discussing the following with your healthcare
provider:
� Is increased stress contributing to
your child's behavior?
� Is your child getting enough
exercise?
� Does your child have a supportive
and nurturing environment at school that encourages individual
learning styles?
� Is there truly a health related
cause of your child's behavior or change in behavior?
� Ask if they are aware of the
effects of dietary factors on hyperactivity and, if so, do they
have suggestions in treating the behavior? Consider the role that
food additives may be playing, and look for more fresh and
unprocessed foods to enjoy with your family. |

The Bottom
Line... The Bottom Line... In
view of the essentially harmless intervention of eliminating
colorings and preservatives, and the large numbers of children
taking drugs for hyperactivity; common sense should prevail. Why
not begin eliminating colorings and preservatives from your diet
AND your child's diet? What could happen if we all took steps to
lead healthier lifestyles? We just might have healthier lives that
didn't require expensive and dangerous drug treatments. Yes...we
just might!
