Confirmation bias at its finest.

Hmm, this doesn't really verify it because the average person's kids might have been trained by now to react in a certain way after eating sugar. If you expect yourself to react a certain way after eating a food, you just might.

Similar to how a lot of kids are afraid of lightning because you are.

Confirmation bias, meet placebo control group.

From the article:

> In my favorite of these studies, children were divided into two groups. All of them were given a sugar-free beverage to drink. But half the parents were told that their child had just had a drink with sugar. Then, all of the parents were told to grade their children’s behavior. Not surprisingly, the parents of children who thought their children had drunk a ton of sugar rated their children as significantly more hyperactive. This myth is entirely in parents’ heads. We see it because we believe it.

I do have kids... I also know the differences between anecdotes and evidence.
