First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether reducing ultra-processed foods (like chips, soda, and packaged snacks) can improve thinking skills in children aged 10-15 with ADHD. Over 12 weeks, one group gets weekly online nutrition classes to swap junk food for whole foods, while the other group does not. Researchers will measure changes in cognitive function using computer tests.
