Kids and Sugar

I took a little break around the holidays from posting here, and I'll be disappearing again until about mid-January until I return to Austin for the start of the spring semester. As I traveled for the last week or so I came across the same story 3-4 times in different podcasts and online articles, which I thought was quite interesting. It relates to the fact that sugar doesn't really make kids hyper. There's some good research going on there, including an experiment that indicated it's more parents' expectations about the sugar-hyperactivity "link" that leads to them thinking their kids are being hyper even when they're not.

Happy 2009 to all!
