The association between sugar and hyperactivity has been thoroughly debunked, but the sugar high myth remains

Think about what events are associated with high sugar intake, says Corkins, who is also a professor at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. “Birthday parties, reunions, Christmas time, Thanksgiving.”“When we look at the times that kids have high sugar intake, it’s usually associated with when they’re going to be hyper, even if you didn’t give them any sugar,” he says.

In other words, being ensconced in a celebratory environment with relatives and friends who children might not see every day is itself a very strong stimulant., a registered pediatric dietitian with Cleveland Clinic Children’s in Ohio, says she has seen anecdotal evidence of sugar rushes firsthand. However, “there are a lot of things that can explain kids’ hyperactivity and change in emotions,” says Schnee. “One of them being that they’re children, and that’s a very typical thing.”

What's more, eating highly refined carbohydrates can cause inflammation, which may affect a child’s behavior, she says. Likewise, not eating enough fruits or vegetables can lead to constipation, which can also cause discomfort and moodiness.
