I don't know what the studies say but in my family my son and I both do better with more protien! I have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and if I don't get enough protien my mood gets down right nasty. I've also heard some people on this board talk about their kids being diagnosed with this along with ADHD and it helps tremendously to control the diet.
I don't necessarily think my son is hypoglycemic but I do notice he does better with protien. His psychiatrist also says that her patients tell her that their kids do better with more protien.
