A member asked:
Can sugar really make any kid hyper?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is a very popular belief that sugar makes children hyper. However, there was a very good study, years ago, that disproved the association. The study was actually skewed towards finding that sugar would cause hyperactivity, and it did not.
