I'm sure it raises any health risk.
But my (maternal) Uncle and my brother were very picky eaters.
And by picky I mean would barely eat anything, especially not fruit or vegetables.

They improved slightly after meeting their respective wives, but spent their childhood eating sweets and biscuits.

I know this is like giving the example of the old person in the family who lived to 102 smoking and drinking every day (definitely NOT a case in my family - the heavy smokers went first, those who drank with it shortly after). And I'm not suggesting the plural of individual experience is data. I just know that not every child with an eating issue ends up with ADHD.

On the flip side, I do believe the same psychological issue plagued both my Uncle and my brother. So the cause and effect of developing ADHD would not have been relevant in their case anyway.
