TEL AVIV, Israel, July 23 (UPI) -- Children who are breastfed may have less risk of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, researchers in Israel suggest.
Dr. Aviva Mimouni-Bloch of Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine and Loewenstein Hospital and colleagues completed a retrospective study on the breastfeeding habits of parents of three groups of children: a group that had been diagnosed with ADHD; siblings of those diagnosed with ADHD; and a control group of children without ADHD and lacking any genetic ties.
