ElectricNights: It is startling, but I’ve heard the stat a few times. Also in the US about 30% are obese (http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity) and about 14% in Canada. That would mean 15-7%. Factoring in that obesity is a broad range, it’s not too much of a stretch to get to 50%.

I agree with memzak that Barkley said it. So did Dr. Oren Mason here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cRrjJCgRcQ) (great lecture).

One thing that the ADD community should and can do is to aggressively educate nutritionists, GPs and bariatric surgeons about ADHD.

memzak: wow. Congrats. Any chance you can give us the highlights of how you did it? I need to lose about 150-200 to be healthy.
