Behavioral Trends

This research explores how sugar (sucrose) affects behavioral changes in children diagnosed with ADHD. It examines established psychological theories suggesting that regulating sugar intake can diminish symptoms like hyperactivity and irritability. The study involved 30 children, comparing the effects of a sucrose control group to a restricted diet. Findings indicate that reducing sugar may lead to decreased ADHD symptoms, supporting the hypothesis that diet plays a crucial role in managing behavioral issues in children.
