I think you might be selectively sampling things. I.e. you notice when your toddler is hyperactive after eating fruits but not when he or she is hyperactive after eating other foods.
When it comes to a sugar rush, potatoes, rice, and corn have a significantly higher glycemic index than oranges, apples, and mangos (potatoes are about twice as high). This means that potatoes and corn will more quickly spike your toddler's blood sugar levels quicker and to higher levels. Does your toddler get more hyperactive after eating potatoes or rice or corn?
