📖 A landmark randomized controlled trial led by Prof. Jan Buitelaar and colleagues—published in The Lancet (2011)—investigated the effects of a 5‑week restricted elimination diet on children aged 4–8 diagnosed with ADHD .
📉 Key Findings:
• 78% of participating children experienced a significant reduction in ADHD symptoms after the diet .
• During a double‑blind food challenge, 63% saw symptoms return when re‑introduced to certain processed foods .
👶 What Was the Elimination Diet?
Children were fed only a limited set of non‑processed foods (e.g., rice, meat, vegetables, pears, water) for five weeks. Those with reduced symptoms underwent a blinded re‑introduction of foods to identify triggers .
🧠 Why It Matters:
This study demonstrates that, for many children, specific processed foods can induce or worsen ADHD symptoms—highlighting an important non‑medication pathway for management .
⸻
✅ Parent-Friendly Tips:
• Consider consulting a pediatrician or dietitian before trying an elimination diet.
• If symptoms improve, carefully reintroduce foods one at a time to pinpoint triggers.
• 🚨 Note: this approach is intense and requires medical supervision—not just “cutting out snacks.”
⸻

🌕 🍓 The “Strawberry Moon” is rising tonight, June 10, around 10:30 PM EDT.
This isn’t just any full moon—it’s the lowest full moon in nearly 20 years, making it look HUGE and glowing with a soft golden-orange hue as it climbs above the southeastern horizon.
Peak illumination arrives at 3:43 AM EDT on June 11, but the real show begins at moonrise.
Bundle up, find a clear spot with a view toward the southeast—maybe the Ottawa River or an open park—and experience nature’s beauty at its grandest.
⸻
Why It’s Special Tonight 🌝
• Major lunar standstill: This full moon is appearing unusually low in the sky—something we won’t see again until 2043   .
• Warm coloration: The low angle causes light to pass through more atmosphere, giving it that magical, amber glow .
⸻
The best viewing time is right when it rises—around 10:30 PM

D’abord foyer du peuple de la nation algonquine Anishinabe, Ottawa a été façonnée par l’histoire du Canada. Situés à l’intersection de trois rivières et de deux villes, nous réunissons le passé et l’avenir, la ville et la nature, les communautés anglaises, françaises et autochtones. Nous sommes la rencontre des peuples et des cultures qui ont façonné le Canada et, en tant que capitale, nous relions nos citoyens au reste du pays et au monde.
