I am taking a course on food this semester. They explained two things a few weeks ago: 1. The idea that sugar makes kids hyperactive is a myth. In fact, eating sugar will cause a certain protein or amino acid to not go into the brain as much and cause us to feel more sleepy. 2. If you want to perform well mentally, for example for an exam, you would want to eat high protein foods. The element in situation 1 would be more present and would enhance brain function. If I would want to be more productive, I will try to observe this in the future. I did notice that sugar made me sleepy.
