Is There A Relationship Between Carbohydrate or Sugar Consumption And Behavior?

0

Numerous carefully controlled studies show no relationship between sugar consumption and childhood behavior problems such as hyperactivity. In its comprehensive evaluation, FDA found no solid evidence that sugar consumption contributes to behavioral changes. The U.S. Surgeon General’s Report on Nutrition and Health agrees, as does the National Academy of Sciences Diet and Health report. A small percentage of the population (from 1 to 5% of school-age children) is affected by a syndrome known as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). If a child is diagnosed as having ADHD, his/her treatment and progress should be closely monitored by a physician.
