And of course what's disturbing to ME is that most of those kids

will never be tested for food intolerances! " Severe digestive

disturbances " are also caused by gluten/milk issues, even without the

Kit-kat bars, and those intolerances *also*

cause a lot of behavior problems. The average SAD is 60% allergen-based,

probably more now that there is so much soy and corn.

That's really making progress though, to have doing that on TV!

Discover this month had a great article on nutrients and mental

problems, including the bit about how prison inmates responed so

well to just having vitamin supplements (you can read it online, I think,

even if you don't subscribe, it's on the their main page).

Wait a year or so and you'll be seeing some good shows about the

intolerance issue too!
