Kids Get Hyper with Sweets

I like sweet very much. But do you know that kids get hyper with sweet!. To find out the true of that statement, University of Southampton (UK) made some research by giving over 250 3 years old and then 8 and 9 years old drinks without, before comparing their behaviour.
You'd think that this would lead to yet another statement of the blindingly obvious. Yet, Dr Jim Stevenson believes that the time and money has not been wasted. "The importance of our work is that effects have been found for 3 years old and for 8-9 years old children in general population, not just for those diagnosed with attention deficit hyperractivity disoder (ADHD)".
