"Sugar makes children hyperactive"
FALSE
96% confidence
Multiple double-blind studies have found no link between sugar consumption and hyperactivity in children. A meta-analysis of 16 studies found sugar does not affect behavior or cognitive performance. Parents who believe their child has consumed sugar often perceive more hyperactive behavior, even when the child received a placebo.
