contains such gems as:
""The biggest myth of all is that food has any connection to
behavior," says Steven Pliszka, MD, professor of psychiatry,
University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio."
""There is elegant research demonstrating that sugar is not
at all related to inattention or hyperactivity," says Mina
Dulcan, MD, head of child and adolescent psychiatry at
Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago."
"Dulcan and Pliszka point to studies that have shown no
effect of sugar on the behavior of children whose parents
are convinced that the food makes them more hyperactive. But
if the parents think their child has had sugar, they often
perceive a difference in behavior that is not really there
by objective measures."
The study designs are placebo controlled, croos-over
challenges. IOW, the kids used are the ones who the parents
are absolutely, positively, unquestionably certain that
sugar makes their kids hyperactive. These studies also tend
to show how parents are often poor observers.
