Thank you very much for your ongoing commitment & work and publishing these videos. You’re doing a fantastic service for us laypeople. ps - Keep the dad jokes coming 🙂
Thank You for sharing your thoughts and the studies! 💖💫 They need to study people who were ‘extra’ active in utero; my middle name is Andréa after the San Andréas fault bc I was “so busy” in utero.
I'd be interested to know more about childhood sleep problems and ADHD, going right back to infancy. My sister and I were exceptionally fussy and needy babies compared to our siblings. Just throwing it out there, watching this video and commenting on it, while listening to it, and 1.30am very aware that I should brush my teeth and go the heck to sleep. Am I going to google this idea instead of doing those tasks? ... Perhaps.
Hi Dr. Barkley. Have you done any videos covering research on fish oil supplementation as a treatment option for ADHD? I'm curious about the effective dosage and the treatment effectiveness.
I don’t understand this. These studies are written by authors who should be trained in scientific skills and therefore be able to differentiate between correlation and causation. That’s so elementary! The studies are peer reviewed, by people who also should see those things and stop it right there. Likewise there are lots and lots of studies coming with such poor design and poor conclusions. And that also implies lots of founding going into these kinds of results which don’t help the people with ADHD. Why???
It's not that they're not trained. Read the conclusion: "children who consume sweetened beverages during early childhood are at increased risk of developing ADHD later in life". It does not say anything causal. The authors are not confusing it either. There are simply limitations on the kind of research scientists can do. It's generally cheaper to measure when things are correlated with each other, and that can allow for more people to participate in the study, which can tell us whether it's worth it to invest in further research to determine whether effects are causal. It's not bad science, it's just a result of scientists not having unlimited funding.
@@jamiejohnson5748 they do not “develop ADHD”. They are born with ADHD. Only that choice of words is already nonchalant. They get more of sugar because of (at least one of) their parents also have ADHD. I would expect those children to show ADHD-behaviors later in life regardless of sugar consumption.
I have been saying for years now that the studies blaming fizzy drinks and poor maternal health for ADHD instead of recognising that undiagnosed mothers are more likely to have a) poor health and b) children with ADHD...
What an insane waste of time and money. At 2 years old, your consumption of anything is COMPLETELY dependent upon your parents and caregivers. I have ADHD, my daughter has ADHD and by 2 years old, she had nothing but milk, formula and water. It took until about 3 before she even had juice. She's 6 now and has never tasted soda. I have some every once in a while and tell her it's basically cold coffee. Every kid likes sweetened drinks. It's even more likely that 2 year olds that consume sweetened drinks have parents that make bad decisions of all sorts, or are diabetic or are uneducated or don't give a crap about their kids! I once watched an obese lady take an empty bottle from her thirsty, barely talking toddler, pour her Mountain Dew in it and send him on his way. My brain broke for like 10 minutes. There was a water fountain about 20ft/7m away. It still breaks my brain thinking about it. 🤮 That "research" should be more indicative of their parents and seems to think toddlers have much in the way of choices.
I don't condone giving kids high sugar drinks and treats but I can see a kid with ADHD becoming more compliant with a dose of sugar as a substitute for medication. As an undiagnosed child my typical weekday breakfast was a bowl of Wheaties with six plus teaspoons of sugar, weekends other things but a load of jam, sugar or syrup. At home after school treats were very limited but at a friends house a full box of Graham Crackers was our recharge before heading out till supper time. As an adult it was hard candies and pop or coffee. I generally managed fairly well eventually raising three children, for youngest I had to ban a red dye, nutrasweet and chocolate - a slice of chocolate birthday cake in the afternoon and he would be wired until total physical collapse at 3am, now he manages some chocolate but he doesn't eat very much of it, no artificial sweeteners and generally natural foods without dyes or much extra ingredients.
And... as adhd is often hereditary, the parents probably have adhd Sugar is one quick way to boost dopamine/ self medicate. The parents are likely self medicating and have weaker executive skills to resist the draw of sugar for themselves AND their children
Thanks. Did they write anything about the risk of attempting suicide after bariatric surgery for ppl with ADHD? Or were the studies not at all about what happens after surgery?
Your jokes. 😖 Just kidding. Thank you so much for continuing to educate us. Your knowledge and contributions to our ADHD population is greatly valued and appreciated.

oh my. the jokes are reaching new levels here! Thank you again for the research reviews.

Very true, I too agree with the notion
You overestimate the quality of science that can be published. There is a lot of crap out there, along with the good stuff.
It's not that they're not trained. Read the conclusion: "children who consume sweetened beverages during early childhood are at increased risk of developing ADHD later in life".

Thank you for being you Dr. Barkley.
Can anyone confirm the topic Dr. Barkley suggested to his viewer's as a interesting subject to cover in a thesis?
I don't recall the exact video, but it was a research review in the last month, I'm certain
Thank you. I will go back and start search there 😊
