October is #ADHD Awareness Month. A common question for dietitians is whether individuals with ADHD should avoid food additives. While some clinical trials have linked their consumption to a small increase in neurobehavioural effects, many others show no significant association and the presence of neurobehavioural effects has often been reported by parents but not by teachers. It would therefore be prudent to limit synthetic food dye in children's diets but given these discrepancies, the confidence in this recommendation should be low. If the child and their caregiver(s) are interested in trialing an elimination diet, dietitians should evaluate the possible risks, expenses and difficulty related to this intervention and consider whether it is realistic to implement.

It is managed by a collaborative partnership comprised of the British Dietetic Association, the Dietitians Association of Australia and Dietitians of Canada. The PEN System is funded by professional associations, subscription and licensing revenues, government grants and health authority contributions. It is not funded by any corporate sponsorship and commercial advertising is not permitted.
