Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Food Additives, and the History of the Feingold Diet, 1970-Present. (360G-Wellcome-080644_Z_06_Z)

£71,658

This research aims to trace the history of the Feingold Diet and to identify those factors that led first to its acceptance and ultimately to its rejection. The project will integrate constructively three different areas in the history of medicine, namely the histories of mental health, allergy, and nutrition. In addition to providing an original academic contribution to the histories of these specific fields, the project will also encourage informed debate about the disorder and about the processes of medical classification and labelling amongst patients, their families, and the medical profession.
