It's funny because I saw them this past Easter and they were raving about how much sugar they ate that day and how hyper they were going be. I just laughed and pretended to believe it. They were going crazy, but because they believed the sugar was causing it, not because it actually was.Michael Broganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052694100567460074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135720363085979067.post-74048517333774798572010-04-01T06:56:21.653-07:002010-04-01T06:56:21.653-07:00I have to admit that I actually used to belive tha...I have to admit that I actually used to belive that this was true and took it as fact. After learning more about this in class and reading about it in you post I actually did think about it a little. I could not recall any instances where it was the environment that caused the child I was with to act hyper. I always assumed it was because they were eating candy or drinking soda. <br />SO because I could not think of an instance in the past to support the claims that sugar has no effect on a child I decided to just be proactive and observe the kids in my life. I would notice that alot of what they ate was filled with sugar and that most of the time they never really acted out. It was only when they would be really excited or acting out in some way that I would hear a family say "what did you feed that kid!?" Only when the kid was bad was the fact that they ate sugar talked about. So I found out that sugar gets a bad rap for no real reason (at least when it comes to kids being hyper).Ashley Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840523376022419464noreply@blogger.com
