This paper is a review of primary research investigating the Feingold hypothesis which suggests diet modification as an efficacious treatment for hyperactivity. The techniques of meta-analysis were used to integrate statistically the findings from 23 studies. The primary finding indicates that diet modification is not an effective intervention for hyperactivity as evidenced by the negligible treatment effects which are only slightly greater than those expected by chance. When the data were…

Diet and child behavior problems: fact or fiction?

Historical background information regarding dietary treatment in children with behavioral disorders is provided, the evidence-based literature for common dietary interventions are reviewed, and limitations in the research are discussed.

The efficacy of psychological, educational, and behavioral treatment. Confirmation from meta-analysis.

Although meta-analysis has limitations, there are good reasons to believe that its results are more credible than those of conventional reviews and to conclude that well-developed psychological, educational, and behavioral treatment is generally efficacious.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Critical Appraisal of Extended Treatment Studies

A systematic review of the literature on the long-term treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder found that Rigorous treatment research among representative samples of ADHD individuals is needed.

Effectiveness of Restricted Elimination Diets for Management of ADHD: Concerns about the 2011 INCA Study

The K-P diet was not a panacea for ADHD and was surely not going to replace other science-based treatments for the disorder, and there seemed to be some small effect, presumably due to allergic responses, but hardly the extensive and pervasive effects claimed by Feingold.

Diet and ADHD, Reviewing the Evidence: A Systematic Review of Meta-Analyses of Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trials Evaluating the Efficacy of Diet Interventions on the Behavior of Children with ADHD

Considering the small average ESs PUFA supplementation is unlikely to provide a tangible contribution to ADHD treatment, while further research is required for AFC elimination before advising this intervention as ADHD treatment.

Recent Research on Food Additives: Implications for CAMH.

The question of the possible role of food additives, and specifically food colours, in elevating hyperactive behaviour in children has been long debated. There is now replicated evidence that the…

Human beings persistently demonstrate a vivid interest in the effect of food on behaviour. Thoughout recorded history, every cultural and ethnic group has associated certain dietary practices and…

Diet in the treatment of ADHD in children—A systematic review of the literature

Elimination diets and fish oil supplementation seem to be the most promising dietary interventions for a reduction in ADHD symptoms in children, however, the studies on both treatments have shortcomings, and more thorough investigations will be necessary to decide whether they are recommendable as part of ADHD treatment.

The Efficacy of Stimulant Drug Treatment for Hyperactivity

  • K. Kavale

It is shown that the extant literature provides a basis for concluding that stimulant drugs are an effective treatment for hyperactivity and that general findings indicate positive effects for drug intervention.

Diet and hyperactivity: is there a relationship?

The article under this title written by F. J. Stare and colleagues gives rise to considerable concern because of the use of unpublished data to support an argument that is more destructive than constructive in its criticism.

Hyperkinesis and food additives: testing the Feingold hypothesis.

Teacher ratings, objective classroom and laboratory observational data, attention-concentration, and other psychological measures obtained on 36 school-age, hyperactive boys under experimental and…

Food Additives and Hyperkinesis: A Controlled Double-Blind Experiment

It is concluded that the K-P diet may reduce hyperkinetic symptoms, though this result is put forth with caution in view of several features inherent in the present study which need further evaluation.

“One Jumped Off the Balance Beam”

It was concluded that extant research, although possessing methodological flaws not allowing definitive conclusions in previous narrative reviews, has demonstrated that perceptual-motor training is not effective and should be questioned as a feasible intervention technique for exceptional children.

Relative effects of drugs and diet on hyperactive behaviors: an experimental study.

There is evidence to suggest that the behavior of three to eight children was diet-responsive, depending on the criteria used, and there is evidence, particularly in teacher ratings, in support of Feingold's hypothesis if it is modified.

Psychotropic medication with children: an evaluation of procedural biases in results of reported studies.

Analysis of studies on the effects of drugs on learning or behavior in children published between January 1937 and March 1971 suggests that research design and the measure of behavior change exert a biasing influence on the degree of reported efficacy of the psychotropic medications.

Food Additives and Hyperkinesis: A Critical Evaluation of the Evidence.

There are no reliable data to support the belief that there has been an epidemic of hyperkinesis, and a moratorium on further public advocacy is recommended until the efficacy of the diet for a defined population is firmly established by controlled research.

Synthetic food colors and hyperactivity in children: a double-blind challenge experiment.

Nine hyperactive male subjects, selected on the basis of showing a favorable "response" to the Feingold diet in an earlier study, were maintained on a strict elimination (Feingold) diet for 11 weeks,…
