I don't know much about ADD, but found this in a local support group's newsletter "Breastfeeding is a natural source of Gamma Linolenic Acid, one of the Essential Fatty Acids. A deficiency of EFA seems to be the cause of hyperactivity in many children." Sorry, no reference. Many thanks to all those who sent warm messages of welcome to Lactnet. -- Lynn Enraght-Moony [log in to unmask] Phone: +27 11 782-4100 Fax: +27 11 888-1086 Snail: P O Box 222, Auckland Park, Johannesburg, 2006, SOUTH AFRICA
