Sugar doesn?t make kids hyper???? - GoFuckYourself.com

1. Sugar makes kids hyper.
Lots of parents swear that a single hit of birthday cake holds the power to morph their well-behaved, polite youngster into a sticky hot mess that careens around a room while emitting eardrum-piercing shrieks. Anyone who has had the pleasure to attend a 5-year-old?s birthday party knows that the hypothesis sounds reasonable, except that science has found that it?s not true.

Sugar doesn?t change kids? behavior, a double-blind research study found way back in 1994. A sugary diet didn?t affect behavior or cognitive skills, the researchers report. Sugar does change one important thing, though: parents? expectations. After hearing that their children had just consumed a big sugar fix, parents were more likely to say their child was hyperactive, even when the big sugar fix was a placebo, another study found.

Of course, there are plenty of good reasons not to feed your kids a bunch of sugar, but fear of a little crazed sugar monster isn?t one of them.

Some people might be confusing sugar with chocolate, there's caffeine in that..

1 pound of chocolate equals an energy drink.

Could be the same confusion I had. I thought sugar was making my daughter hyper when it was really the red food dye in things. She could eat chocolate but one red lollipop and it was like she was a whole other person. Turns out a LOT of the stuff we eat has red food dye.

She's growing out of that allergy now at 8 years old, but we kept her pretty strict for a long time.

Sugar rots your teeth & slowly dissolves your insides.

Some red food coloring is crushed beetle shells.

More gas in the tank doesn't make your car go faster. Same idea.

There's plenty of other crap in these products which could be making kids go hyper, but it doesn't change that fact that we need to keep away from this poison anyway, and artificial sweeteners too
