Processed Foods Make Kids More Hyperactive Years Later!

Processed foods increase hyperactivity in children, and the effects can linger for years. For parents who want to dive deeper, see the study below. 

Quote from the study:

“The consumption of ultra-processed foods at an early age was associated with hyperactivity and inattention symptoms in adolescence.”

In this study, they found that the amount of ultra-processed food that infants consumed at age 12-16 months correlated with an increased amount of hyperactivity symptoms at age 12-13.
