Instructions: Using the following information and prompts from your textbook author's blog, read through the information provided and then as a group, determine the best responses. Here's something "everybody says": Kids will become hyperactive if they eat too much sugar. This folk belief is as much a part of North American cultural wisdom as learning styles and the catharsis hypothesis. But this column in the New York Times explains that, like learning styles and catharsis, the idea of a "sugar high" is also a myth. The physician who wrote the column traced the modern idea of sugar causing hyperactivity to 1975. But then the author describes a randomized clinical trial on this question. Here's the description: An extraordinarily rigorous study settled the question in 1994. Writing in the New England Journal of Medicine, a group of scientists tested normal preschoolers and children whose parents described them as being sensitive to sugar. Neither the parents, the children nor the research staff knew which of the children were getting sugary foods and which were getting a diet sweetened with aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. Urine was tested to verify compliance
