@Calliopespa basically what he actually said has been misrepresented in the headline. A lot of the comments are not about what JW actually said - which was a fairly measured comment on the effects of processed food on children.
He did however refer to 'all children' having adhd these days, which was either a figure of speech, misinformed or goady depending on your point of view.
Interestingly I was listening to a podcast the other day about how fake news spreads so quickly and the researcher in question had tracked news different stories on social media. The number of people who shared or commented on articles without actually clicking on them was incredibly high (I can't remember the number but close to 80% iirc). Basically all it took was a headline that you either really agreed with or really disagreed with.
