How Sugar Cane Is Turned Into Processed Sugar

i learned that sugar does not cause hyperactivity in children. This myth is based on a single 1978 study; no subsequent study has shown a relationship (x)

In fact, a meta-analysis of 16 different studies on sugar and hyperactivity all came back with the same result: ’sugar does not affect the behaviour or cognitive performance of children’. If sugar does change something, it’s parental expectations of their children

The Sweet Truth. The sugar-hyperactivity myth is based on a single study from the mid 1970’s in which a doctor removed the sugar from one child’s diet and that child’s behavior improved. Since then, over a dozen larger studies have been conducted without proving sugar causes hyperactivity.

Love all the people in the notes who are like “well CLEARLY you haven’t had this anecdotal experience that totally invalidates the results of double-blind scientific studies”

What a coincidence! The podcast Maintenance Phase just put out an episode about this myth! (And two other sugar related myths: that you can predict what foods cause blood sugar spikes, and that sugar is as addictive as cocaine)

I feel like someone drinking non alcoholic beer in a group. Non knowing that it’s non alcoholic. Followed by the person acting drunk.

You think Sugar makes you hyper. So you feel justified to do hyper things.

Osakatoka konpeito

When the Portuguese introduced sugar candy as a gift to the Emperor, the Japanese started making konpeito by rolling a grain of sugar (originally a sesame or poppy seed) in sugar syrup over and over in a process that can take ten days. The result is a studded crystal candy that is part of traditional Japanese culture but is now made by only a few companies.

Bonus fact: In Japan, the Sugar Plum Fairy from The Nutcracker is called the Konpeito Fairy.
