Despite what most parents think, there's no conclusive evidence that sugar causes kids to act differently.
"If you look at the peer-reviewed evidence, we cannot say sugar absolutely makes kids hyper; however, you can't discount that sugar may have a slight effect" on behavior, said Kristi L. King, senior pediatric dietitian at Texas Children's Hospital and spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.In the mid-1990s, a meta-analysis reviewed 16 studies on sugar's effects in children.
Don't eat sugar on an empty stomach. Doing so can lead to a surge in blood sugar, and that itself may alter a child's behavior, according to Castle.Make sure that your child is drinking plenty of water. Also, avoid sugar-sweetened beverages on top of eating sugary foods, King advised. Don't hype up sugar. If you don't have sugar and candies in your house often, and you bring sweets home and make a big deal about it, your child may pick up on it and become excited, King explained.
