  • Years of oral tradition say yes, but modern science disagrees.

      Parents around the world often say that sugar really causes kids to get hyper but real studies from scientists actually proves that it doesn't. 
  • Science first became interested in the link between sugar and hyperactivity when the Feingold Diet became popular in 1973. Devised by allergist Dr. Benjamin Feingold, it advocated the removal of food additives, such as dyes and artificial flavors, from children’s diets because they might lead to hyperactivity. Although this special diet did not originally mention sugar, sugar became grouped under the category of food additives due to the common belief that it affected behavior.

      Scientists became interested in sugar and how it affects kids just when the diet turned popular in 1973. Allergist Dr Benjamin Feingold has been deciding to do the "removal" of food with color dye and artificial flavors from kids diets because they might get to the point of hyperactivity.
  • Through various experiments over the years, scientists have discovered that no substantial evidence exists to support the claim that sugar causes hyperactivity.

      Even though scientists say that sugar does not cause hyperactivity, they still have no evidence for that.

  • Nonetheless, other experiments show that sugar may at least influence behavior.

      But others studies show that sugar might not affect hyper kids, but it may affect behavior 
  • Dr. Wesnes conducted a study in which he found that having a large amount of sugar for breakfast led to a severe deterioration of attention span when compared to having no breakfast or eating whole grain cereal. Dr. Tamborlane, also from Yale, reported that children given sugar had higher levels of adrenaline. A possible explanation for this effect is that since sugar is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, blood sugar rises quickly, which can lead to higher adrenaline levels and thus symptoms similar to those associated with hyperactivity. Furthermore, children with ADHD also tend to have higher levels of insulin.

      Dr Wesnes found that if a kid has a huge pile of sugar for breakfast it can cause them to not pay attention at anything. But if you have a whole grain breakfast you can be more concentrate more. Also Dr Tamborlane says that kids that eat alot of sugar have "higher levels of adrenaline. Another way to say this is that if you eat a lot of sugar all the sugar is absorbed to the "bloodstream" and blood sugar goes up quickly, that"s why kids can have higher levels of "adrenaline."

  • The idea that sugar affects behaviour is widely believed and there are various hypotheses that attempt to explain how, including some children might have an allergic response to refined sugar, or have abnormal patterns of blood glucose levels.

      Sugar can be called beer for some adults because sugar gives the same effect to children that eat or drink a lot of sugar as adults can get the effect from drinking a lot of beer.so in conclusion you could get "drunk" for eating or drinking  lot of sugar because when you eat or drink a lot of sugar you get a tummy ache which then a sugar-rush follows causing you to get "drunk"

      Some dangerous causes for hyperactivity are: ADHD which is Attention Deficit Disorder,Bipolar Disorder which is a mental illness marked by extreme from mania to depression,Adrenoleukodystrophy which is several inherited conditions that affect the nervous system and adrenal glands.those can be the reason for hyperactivity but there is one more the most simple explanation for hyperactivity is from eating or drinking a lot of sugar which as you already know causes hyperactivity of an absurd level for example acting drunk.
