hereditary dispositions are also the result of the life style of previous
generations .
i think also there is more than the strictly diet link there is also social
institutions like schools who have made their rules of functionning and
their program in the context of ADD students and teatchers . ( requiring the
need for authoritarian ways of forcing knowledge in peoples minds or ,
endless repetition of informations that could be assimilated very quickly
when the interest is there, uniformisation of knowledge , no time for pursue
specials interests , etc....)
so even in the context of a readjusted diet , just the experience of the
social structures of that kind will reinforce old patterns .
i took school as an exemple but it apply to many if not all the institutions
in place .take the relationship doctors patient as an other exemple .
