That site is rather quack-ish looking to me.
For one thing, it cites "Ciba Ceigy" as one of the big evil companies in the world. Why is it that only anti-Ritalin quacks haven't gotten the memo they changed their name to Novartis like a thousand years ago? Sort of tells you how little they actually know of ADHD treatment when they don't even know their biggest target's name.
I took Omega-3's for a few months with absolutely no notice of any changes in the way I concentrated. Your children will likely not see any change, either.
Sugar drinks and animal proteins should be avoided for other reasons anyway. Stick to a diet rich in plant-based proteins and chill out on the quack sites. Switch to Concerta or Adderall XR for your kid, possibly augumenting it with Straterra. But for goodness sakes, and I say this as a kid who's at an Ivy league school no thanks to my parents who claimed I was lazy since age 7 instead of having me see a doctor for my inattentive ADD-- TREAT YOUR CHILDREN TO WHATEVER YOUR DOCTOR tell you, not some idiot like me or anyone else on this board.
