I have another food related hot take for you all this week: sugar does not make kids hyper. yes 🖐️ including your kids. yes including whatever anecdote you're going to tell me. it's been studied, sugar does not make you hyper. there are a multitude of factors related to what you think of as sugar hyperactivity that basically boil down to you train kids to be hyper when they get sugar by making it a forbidden food. you treat it like a stimulant and you make it clear you expect them to be hyper so they are. and because it's a forbidden food they usually only get it at special occasions like parties which are a fun exciting time to run around with other kids.
