Don't Make Sugar the Bad Guy.
If
you put a ceiling on all added sugar in your diet, you may prop
up a deficit mindset that can activate sugar binges. Take
a moderate approach. We're born with a natural taste for
sweetness, and a little wholesome sugar is good for the soul.
But
be sure to use the natural, pure, chemical-free, and wholesome
sugars!

Sugar does not
cause hyperactivity. Intuition blames the sugar
for your perkiness. In fact, you probably had some
form of caffeine, which does cause hyperactivity. According to 'Science Journal' sugar does not
cause hyperactivity contrary to popular belief.
Many foods that kids eat that they think causes
them to become hyper also contain caffeine.
Caffeine can cause hyperactivity but not sugar so
when kids say they have become hyper off of sugar
it is really the result of caffeine along with
their minds telling them they will become hyper if
they consume enough of certain foods. [Source:
