If there is anyone left in this family who believes there is such a thing as a "sugar high" or that doses of sugar cause hyperactivity in children, can we get you straightened out now, please? I don't want to go through again what I had to go through tonight with Luke and Aurora. "Mr. Murphy (Dad, in Luke's case), you're wrong about there not being a sugar high. Mr Irwin says there is." Wow. Mr Irwin, now. I'm impressed.
Sugar is a soporific. It has a sedative effect. Yes, it raises the level of glucose in your blood temporarily, but that doesn't make you more "energetic". You can only burn so much at a time. Insulin is released from your pancreas and it helps store the excess sugar in your cells.
I can provide you with the studies if you remain unconvinced.
Thank you.
