Lack of concentration in studies like, learning and reading problems, excessive physical work, emotional difficulties, and disruptive behavior are some of the drawbacks of hyperactivity in children.
The childhood attention deficit disorder, and hyperactivity, is affecting nearly 5-10% of children in America. Lack of iron, magnesium, vitamin B complex, and harmful chemicals in food, like carmoisine, and sodium benzoate contributes in hyperactivity and ADHD in children. Many countries have banned the use of food products containing carmoisine, quinoline yellow, generally present in cold drinks, sweets, ice-creams, cosmetic, and bubblegum, but US has still not given the red signal to such products.
