Giving children sugar does not make them hyperactive. In a study published not long ago in the British Medical Journal , Rachel Vreeman and Aaron Carroll, from the Indiana School of Medicine (USA), brought to light a dozen studies showing that the amount of sugar in the diet it does not influence child behavior. According to Vreeman, the only thing that varies when children eat sweets is that their parents, who are prejudiced towards the effects of sweets, mistakenly perceive that their children are more restless and nervous.
Another common phrase among fans of sweets is to warn that if we swallow a gum it will remain in the stomach for seven years. Although stomach acids do not digest gum, the truth is that gum does not take more than two days to pass through the intestine and be expelled.
