This is one of my favorite blogs, because the "fact" that sugar makes kids hyperactive is so widespread that it's basically ubiquitous, even though it's probably not true at all! Fascinating insight into humanity and scientific myths in general

This doesn’t measure hyperactivity, it just measures a mother’s ability to be tricked in a study. Messages like yours are biased and harmful. Diets high in sugar and artificial sweetener have been linked with poor cognitive and behavioral outcomes which you didn’t present. Biaspic.twitter.com/u1oHM73t9L

Sorry, just to clarify, you're arguing that weak epidemiological associations should trump a number of randomized controlled trials examining the same effect?

Although, to be fair your argument seems to be a total misunderstanding of the piece - I'm talking about acute sugar exposure rather than long-term dietary habits
Glad to clear that up
