Actually, sugar does not cause hyperactivity in children. As soon as you double-blind the people evaluating the children's activity levels, no one can tell which children had sugar.
The reason most people have this misconception is confirmation bias. Children are almost always eating sugar, and almost always "hyperactive".
If you still don't believe me, (I'm sure _your_ children are different), do your own study. It would be a fun thing to do with your children, and very easy. It's very important that make it double blinded: https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-a-double-blind-study-27...
If you're right and your study shows it, you'll overturn a 30 year scientific consensus, and probably become internationally famous.
Wouldn't be the first time but I still wouldn't be famous..
My first wife suffered from postpartum psychosis twice years before the cause and effect was recognized by the health care industry and both times I pointed out the connection and then argued with her doctors about it.
When you're right, you're right. Doesn't matter what others say or think. I know I'm right on this issue. The science needs to catch up and start trashing those junk "pay for conclusions studies" and that's what this particular link posted here talks about.
"The reason most people have this misconception is confirmation bias. Children are almost always eating sugar, and almost always "hyperactive"."
wow... just wow.
See, that right there is where the disconnect is. Children were not "always eating sugar, and almost always "hyperactive".
You may have been as a child, and your children may be now, but no, not even close was I, or my children, or my parents, or my grandparents, or those before them.
We didn't run around all day hyperactive. This is not "normal". It's pervasive, but not normal.
> You really only have to spend time with them to know this.
I don't agree with this event at the level of subjective impression (and I've spent quite a bit of time with kids, with and without sugar), but even if I did, Experience often provides subjective impressions that don't hold up to close examination.
