I was also surprised about that one. Sugar, any carbs really, can cause a energy boost which could be called hyperactivity. Of course it doesn’t cause a diagnosable disorder. The headline and description feel like the author is being pedantic about the meaning of the word “hyperactivity”. A lot of these read like the author is being pedantic about the literal meaning of a word.
The sugar one is about the glycemic index. Ingest sugar > blood sugar spike (kiddos with energy) > blood sugar crash (hangry, dysregulated kiddos)
Of course sugar doesn’t cause ADHD, though; is that a myth people believe?
