If you're using Chrome, the right column of this blog isn't displaying correctly. Switch to Firefox. If you're using the iPad, you're a tool. If you're using IE, go kill yourself.
(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Sugar does NOT make kids hyperactive

A holiday myth debunked...a report in the British Medical Journal states that 12 experimental trials have deflated the heretofore accepted fact that sugar causes hyperactivity in children. Not one of these studies could prove any discrepancies in behavior between kids with no sugar intake and kids who did have sugar, even with those who suffer from ADD/ADHD and the ones who are considered sensitive to sugar.

The main culprit: parents. Children were given a sugar-free drink that was purported as containing sugar. Their parents rated their kids' activities as more hyperactive, making it obvious that it was all in the grown-ups' minds.
