Yes, that's the point i was making - kids who have lots of sugar don't seem to be affected, as it's just their baseline, whereas kids who don't have a lot of sugar do seem to exhibit it.
Curiously, my friend's partner's Argentinian, so... .
- saint_fiasco 2y agoIt might depend on how literally you mean "have lots of sugar". If the dominant component really is physicalist/biological then things that actually contain sugar but don't look like they contain sugar will cause sugar rushes. For example fruit juice, ketchup, pizza. If it's cultural/psychological then only things that are "sugar-coded" will produce the effect. Like candy, syrup, ice cream, soft drinks. If you feel like doing some mad science, see if you can give your kids a rush using sugar-free coke or something like that.
- detritus 2y agoSadly, I've informed my daughter that she can't have coke until she's 22 :) Also, I'm 'one of those' and avoid sugar-free alternatives. For sure though, I can't say I've much noticed it in the likes of fruit smoothies and such, nor when she has a lollypop or some other sugar-laden thing that takes time to consume.
