I read this article on the ketogenic diet and epilepsy a while back:

If I understand correctly, nobody completely understands why these dietary changes effect such significant benefits. But the results are interesting, to say the least.

About six years ago, I was forced to change my own diet quite radically. It has been a huge adjustment, but the process has made me acutely aware of just how much certain foods can effect me physically and mentally. And, too, how the physical reaction to certain foods effects me, mentally. So my bias here is obvious -- it's good to see investigation into possible causes. Especially when the medications for ADHD are a bit scary.
