ADD is caused by sugar
The sugar if it is in excess in the blood sticks to the proteins creating the waste AGE (advanced glycation end). And the more sugar there is in the blood, the more AGE waste will be formed and the worse physical and mental health we will have. If we have this waste in the brain we will have drowsiness during the day because the brain wants us to sleep because during the sleep increases up to 20 times the elimination of brain waste by the glymphatic system.
Y drowsiness causes tiredness, suffering, bad mood, violence, depression, stress, little mental clarity, poor memory, low intelligence, addictions.... To see the level of PGA is the analysis of glycated hemoglobin. An optimal level is 4 to 5%, a diabetic usually has 9 to 12% For every 1% increase in glycated hemoglobin there is 28% more mortality. To eliminate PGA waste from the body and brain we have to control the sugar in blood, for this we can eat a diet low in carbohydrates such as the ketogenic diet. We can also eat a lot of carbohydrates but prefer low and medium foods glycemic index to high, and especially making many small meals a day instead of few large meals. At dinner it is better to avoid carbohydrates. Last edited by namazu; 03-18-19 at 02:39 PM.. Reason: No links to commercial websites or advertising materials. |

Re: ADD is caused by sugar
Sugar intake may cause some ADHD like symptoms but it doesn’t cause ADHD.
That’s like saying drinking lots of alcohol causes the stomach flu because you threw up and feel like crap. What about those of us on Keto diets and greatly limit carbs and sugar and still have ADHD? Also, these figures seem odd. Quote:

Re: ADD is caused by sugar
A poor diet and spiking/crashing blood sugar can adversely affect concentration and other bodily functions, and set people up for a variety of medical complications. Levels of hormones and inflammation that are affected by blood sugar (directly or indirectly) can influence brain function.
But while diet can affect ADHD symptoms, there are plenty of studies that suggest that sugar consumption is probably not a major player -- and certainly not the sole culprit -- in the causation of ADHD in the population. Quote:
So if the baseline mortality were, say, 38.6 deaths/1000 person-years, then even a 100% increase (doubling of the rate) would bring you up to 77.2 deaths /1000 person-years. (We'll keep things simple and pretend that 1000 person-years means -- roughly -- 1000 people being followed for a year each.) For what it's worth, in this study of Type II diabetics, the authors estimate that Quote:
But the blanket claim that "ADD is caused by sugar" does not appear to hold in most cases of ADHD. There may be health benefits to reducing sugars/simple starches in the diet, but for many/most of us with ADHD, cutting out sugar or following a low-carb/keto diet alone will not make the ADHD symptoms disappear. |

Re: ADD is caused by sugar
If you are interested in the diet I have been using for 10 months, it is making me eliminate the waste AGE of the brain and be more awake and more energetic. I eat about 100 calories of fruit every hour and a half, if I go hungry at 45 minutes I can eat butter or dried coconut. At dinner like olives, dried coconut, avocados ...

Re: ADD is caused by sugar
Super stuff us the body in every way. A low carb diet can help ease adhd but there is no cure for a disorder that is pervasive. I do agree that no sugar helps with the management of adhd.

Re: ADD is caused by sugar
It may be a factor, but my family never had a problem with consuming excess sugar, except possibly my father a little. We were poor, so we had to to concentrate on consuming enough basic nutrition...sweets were a luxury. I still limit sweets in my diet. I pretty much grew up without sodas, an especially good thingl

Re: ADD is caused by sugar
I have been on a diet for more than 2 years of eating 120 calories of fruit every hour and a half during the day and at night I eat mainly fats such as olives, oil, coconut ...
I have improved a lot, I am more awake and with more energy, I have not yet cleaned my brain completely but there is little time left. I will continue to report. I recommend reading the book “Grain Brain” |

Re: ADD is caused by sugar
If it works for you that's fine but the author of grain brain has had his theories questioned for a long time.

Re: ADD is caused by sugar
I've kept as low on sugar as I can, because of a diabetic grandparent. So no, sugar is very much in control for me, and not contributing to my ADD. ADD is more of a hereditary problem in my case. It runs in my family and I had it from a very early age.

Re: ADD is caused by sugar
Sugar certainly contributes to hyperactivity for some.
But adhd is about a lot more than just hyperactivity. Research has been done that shows that sugar does NOT cause adhd. Check for info from Dr. Russell Barkley.

Re: ADD is caused by sugar
Brain use glucose as fuel. It isn't waste , all fruits contain fructose and glucose. Basic knowledge tells us these facts. Ketogenic diet has many health risks nobody should do keto diet without supervision, balanced diet is enough , if you don't have to lose weight or have a illness which prevents you from taking carb. , fiber rich low GI carb. resources are harmless. Also we need some amount of gluctose and fructose directly which means we shouldnt only consume complex carbs.
It is really hard to find this claim scientific
