A load of junk.? (hyperactivity in children)
Article Abstract:
Nurses and the medical profession are still not convinced that diet deficiencies and environmental factors can cause hyperactivity in children. Nurses in particular do not believe it is right to be involved in changing people's diets. However, research has shown that deficiencies of trace elements can unbalance children's bodies, and some believe that a pregnant mother's diet coud cause hyperactivity in her child.
