The wording is really specific and frankly misleading though technically true in what it seems to be claiming.
It is technically possible for brains that had something go wrong to develop language competency in the right hemisphere’s real estate as long as the person was young enough.
But it is absolutely wrong in portraying this as if the two hemispheres aren’t functionally different in practice (even if not in potential).
Think the left/right sentiment is more about that this is just the way things usually settle, not the way they have to be. You can have aphasia in non-dominant hemisphere strokes, aphasia is also not necessarily permanent in strokes. Recently I was linked a nature article where they rewired newborn ferret visual and audio nerves, they showed that the visual cortex was able to pick up and process audio input and vice versa. audio cortex was able to process visual input.
Left brain right brain… Language? Surely as black and white as it gets.
Ditto the sugar /ADHD thing, that’s in heavy research and is more about sugar -> inflammation -> neurological changes -> ADHD symptoms.

Sugar causes inflammation? I mean I know it’s not healthy, but…

Yeah, lots of ROS and inflammation from excess sugar, especially when ingested without fibre.
