You might think that…

Your kids aren't affected by food

How do you know? When natural and synthetic food chemicals are eaten every day, the effects are accepted as normal and parents often think, 'that's just our kids'.

Your family eats healthy foods

Are you sure? Even our faily bread, butter and fruit can affect some children.

Only a few kids with ADHD are affected by food

Wrong. Food can affect anyone and particularly in children can cause:

• forgetfulness, learning difficulties
• distractedness, restlessness, silly noises
• short fuse, temper outbursts, defiance
• anxiety, depression, panic attacks
• rocking, hand flapping, face blindness
• difficulty going to sleep, night waking
• grizzly, whiny and demanding behaviour
• bad attitude, lack of motivation
• skin rashes, headaches, stomach aches
• asthma, frequent colds, flu, ear infections

Sue Dengate's other bestselling books Different Kids, The Failsafe Cookbook, Fed Up and Fed Up with Asthma have opened the eyes of thousands of desperate parents over the last fifteen years to the adverse affects of synthetic additives and natural chemicals in foods.
