The sugar one drives me nuts. Like yeah sugar doesn’t cause DSM-5 “hyperactivity”. Like of course not! It does give a little energy boost. And the rugrats will use the highly available energy and become a hilarious unmanageable dufus for a half hour or so.
If you actually thought that candy was going to give your child a diagnosable psychiatric condition… you’re a huge fucking idiot. If you haven’t ever noticed that giving a kid a bag of sour patch kids gets them riled up, you haven’t spent much time with kids.
My dog gets riled up when you give her a carrot as a treat. The kids aren’t bouncing off the wall because candy gave them a bunch of energy, they are bouncing off the wall because they are excited about the treat they have received.
Yeah, that’s the one that has me doubting the entire list. My kids do get a “sugar high”.
The wording they use is off and may be technically right. but if we are going based off the wording they use i don’t think it would be a common belief.
