If he has AHDD, that would explain why his Dad was so uptight, and he had such a difficult childhood. <br />They don't grow out of it, I know, I have a 42 year old son with AHDD. I contribute it to what I was eating when I was pregnant with him. They just don't think the same. He gets in so many muddles, as he can't think to do first things first. I took him to a 'hyperactivity'(as it was called then) doctor, and the recommended diet changed his behavior, but he doesn't stick to it now. Just like Jay, who also has it, and eats all the wrong food.<br /><br />There is a lot of info out there about how diet affect behavior, such as:<br /><br />"In a new review of two dozen scientific studies, the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) contends that food dyes and certain foods can adversely affect children’s behavior. CSPI, in a 32-page report titled “Diet, ADHD, and Behavior,” charges that federal agencies, professional organizations, and the food industry ignore the growing evidence that diet affects behavior." From: http://www.cspinet.org/new/adhdpr.html<br /><br />"There's a double threat out there that may help explain poor school performance, criminal behavior, alcoholism, and the growing numbers of Alzheimer's patients. The possible culprits: food additives and junky diets. Dr. Russell Blaylock says it's a double whammy because of high sugar content and starchy carbohydrates. Those carbs, too, act like sugar in the body." <br /><br />It is just a tragedy.LakeConroePenny,TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260039376684295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550763482629643851.post-67322081372420522862011-02-01T11:52:34.495-06:002011-02-01T11:52:34.495-06:00I am with Gypsy on this one.

I think his brain was already damaged and his Dad being so up-tight might have made him snap. I guess we will learn more as time goes by.pidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392703561667529032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550763482629643851.post-90712863367292754932011-01-31T21:00:05.141-06:002011-01-31T21:00:05.141-06:00I don't think we should hand this guy his defe...I don't think we should hand this guy his defense - "the donuts made me do it". Millions of people eat junk food every day, and foods laced with chemicals, pesticides, etc., and they don't go out and murder. I'm much in favor of eating natural, untainted, untampered-with good food, but a person who would murder has something else drastically wrong with them than their diet, in my opinion.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
