Thanks @GidMK for busting this often repeated myth about kids and sugar!

[Health Nerd @GidMK]

Fun fact: there's no evidence that sugar actually makes children hyperactive

In fact, parents usually can't tell whether their kids have had sugary vs sugar free candy in scientific investigations

Some good(ish) news for Halloween!

It's fascinating just how much medical pseudoscience and nonsense comes from the unwavering belief that we can control all aspects of our own health
