I saw  program about testing whether sugar makes kids hyper, and the study found out that it's actually not the sugar that makes kids hyper. It's the activity that they engage in, that makes them hyper.   A group of kids from the UK were given 2 parties in 2 days. The first day they were given all things sweet at the party, but the activity they were made to do were quiet and centered activities like drawing, playdoh, etc. When they were sent home, the parents were told that they were given veggies in the party and nothing at all sweet. At home, the parents commented how calm their kids seemed to be.

Then on the 2nd day, the kids were given veggies in the party but the activies were all hyper activities: jumping, running, hitting things, etc.  But when they were sent home, the parents were told the kids were given all things sugary during the party. Again, when the parents got home, they said that their kids were absolutely bouncing off the walls.

Very interesting.

I have to watch loads of things my 9 year old has
Loads of different things can set him off, he has ADHD too which is just the added bonus of him slyly taking too much sugar!!!!
