Some dietary triggers for the ADHD like behavior commonly mentioned are artificial colors, sugar
Rather than downmod I'll ask a follow-up question and request research citations to back up that statement mentioning two distinct triggers for ADHD behavior.
That was at the top of Google and describes a 2007 study in The Lancet. There's plenty more if you go looking.
The trouble with dispersal of natural health information is that the pharmaceutical and food industries are two of the biggest advertisers in mainstream media, have enormous influence, and they both profit tremendously from an ignorant public who's willing to buy low cost low quality foods and then take drugs to treat the resulting symptoms.

That should have nothing to do with publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals, which is what I was really asking about. [After edit: I see the Time magazine link you posted refers to an interesting study in the journal The Lancet, which is very well regarded. Now I'll have to look that up and follow up further citations. Thanks.] Scientific journals can have their problems too, article by article,
but that's where I'd like for carefully verified information about what triggers ADHD.
I'll read the Time article in light of the link I've just posted here, which I recommend highly and often to readers of HN. [After edit: I see the Time article ended with a suggestion, from an expert, that it might be a good idea to eat more "organic" foods. Interestingly, there is also a lot of research on phytotoxins suggesting that many "natural" sustances found in plants, which after all evolved defenses of various kinds against being eaten by animals, may sometimes be many more times risky for human health than some "artificial" substances commonly found in lower doses in typical foods. But again thanks for posting the link, which gives me something to follow up on.]
