> but it does show that parental 'hyperactivity detectors' are broken
I'll grant that some are for sure. But it doesn't mean other parents can't quietly and effectively notice their children's responses to various foods.
Frankly any sort of research on behaviors imo should eventually move to scoring by completely objective measures (e.g. computer assessment of whether they can watch a screen for 30 seconds and how often they look away, or whether they can read a paragraph)
