As a scientist and clinician with some exposure to ADHD, and as someone who has put many hours in listening to ADHD experts like David Nowell and Russell Barkley
my sense is that the experts seem to conclude that variables such as nutrition may play an exacerbating role in ADHD, possibly making symptoms somewhat more or less pronounced, but likely not a causal role, because nutrition can only act on top of the existing wiring so to speak.
