Does sugar really make kids hyper?
Detailed studies have concluded that there is no link between sugar consumption and hyperactivity or any other type of ‘bad behaviour’ or learning difficulties. Children may become over-excited on occasions where lots of sugary foods are eaten (e.g. birthday parties) but this is a consequence of the situation, not their sugar intake. I don’t give my 2 yo old daughter any sweets or candies, I always add water to her cup of juice….that doesn’t help…she is such a hyper kid…
