Re: Has anyone tried the Paleo-diet?

librarian_chef, my point was more about the emotional and neurological impact food has, but I phrased it poorly. It is possible that the same DNA that gives us ADHD could give us a different intestine, too, but I agree we don’t know that.

I have heard a lot of people say that some ADDers self medicate with carbs or alcohol (which I’m thinking I do–the carbs). And I know Dr. J. mentioned in one video of the importance of tyrosine on dopamine production, which is found mostly in high protein meats and fish (and funny enough, soy). I understand his point about the assembly line, but perhaps there is something else at work. Or maybe this diet allows ADDers to be satiated faster. Clearly any diet where twinkies are off the menu is good, but if this diet allows me to stick to it easier (because it eliminates cravings or satisfies my neurochemical imbalance), all the better.
