This is the second in our series of "If It's not ADHD, What is It?"
We've long known that kids need plenty of vitamin D for healthy bones. We urge parents to make sure kids get plenty of sunshine. We put vitamin D in milk. And my Mom went a step further: forcing me to swallow tablespoons of nasty cod liver oil.
Kids Vitamin
Now scientists at Children's Hospital and Research Center in Oakland California have discovered that a lack of vitamin D can cause brain dysfunction. Turns out that vitamin D affects proteins in the brain directly involved in learning, memory, and motor control. There's also a suggestion, no proof yet, that lack of vitamin D is involved with controlling behavior.
Vitamin D deficiency is so widespread that the American Academy of Pediatrics recently suggested doubling the amount of vitamin D it recommends for infants, children, and adolescents to 400 IU a day. Pediatricians are now telling parents to give their kids fish oil capsules or vitamin D supplements.
African-American kids and their parents tend to lack more vitamin D than whites because darker skin absorbs fewer ultra-violet rays from the sun. So Black kids who show ADHD behaviors often suffer nothing more than a lack of vitamin D, an easily corrected deficiency.
So you can add vitamin D deficiency to the growing list of factors that look like ADHD but aren't. Get kids drinking vitamin D fortified milk and orange juice, playing outdoors in the sunshine, and eating the few foods high in vitamin D (oily fish like salmon).
Vitamin D supplements make sense. Not enough foods contain enough vitamin D to prevent the deficiency. And too much sun causes brutal sunburns on those blond, fair-skinned kids which can eventually lead to skin cancer. Sun screen prevents sunburn, but it also prevents the absorption of vitamin D from the ultra-violet rays of the sun.
So fix salmon for dinner accompanied by a big glass of milk, and give the kids a 400 IU vitamin D supplement. Send them out to play in the sunshine but don't forget the sunscreen. The vitamin D they'd absorb from the sun doesn't make up for the long term risks of skin cancer.
Enough vitamin D and maybe those annoying ADHD behaviors will stop.
