ADHD zinc deficiency

I am begining to like this blogging, so much to say, but my fingers can't seem to keep up with my brain.

But how do I get it out to my community and get feedback?

We are working out some more tech dificulties so I was not able to load todays article, should be up soon.

The article is about ADHD children and noted Zinc deficiencies.

So they compared food logs of kids w/ and w/o ADHD, but they only compared total Carbs, protien, and fat comsumed, not what they actually ate. From this they leaped to the unfortunate conclusion that kids w/ ADHA don't eat inordinate amoutns of junk food they just inherently have zinc deficiencies? Do you get that there is a huge difference between 20 carbs from a dorito chip and 20 carbs from a stalk of brocolli? so their answer was to give more zinc supplements, instead of addressing a whole food diet? What do you think?
