Parents: If you want well-behaved children, make sure they take their vitamins. Researchers from California State University (CSU) in Stanislaus compared behavioral problems -- like disorderly conduct, vandalism and refusal to work -- in two randomly assigned groups of schoolchildren ages 6 to 12. One group took a daily supplement providing the nutritional equivalent of a well-balanced diet, while the other received a placebo. The results, published in the International Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, showed that after four months, the children taking placebos needed twice as much discipline as those taking supplements.
