Ultra-processed food and behavior/cognition in children with ADHD or learning difficulties
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how eating a lot of ultra-processed foods (like sugary snacks, chips, and fast food) relates to behavior and thinking in children aged 10 to 15 who have ADHD or learning difficulties. It aims to understand if high consumption of these foods is linked to more behavioral issues or problems with attention and memory.
