That's what I am wondering.
Recently somebody was seeking help about their child's ADHD and a poster stated that sugar would cause ADHD or worsen it, can't recall exactly how stated. But while many people do think this is true the research shows that sugar has no more effect to produce hyperactivity on children with ADHD than it does to energize normal children.
So I was thinking to myself, should I post the research conclusions or not? I decided that this misinformation would not actually harm anybody because reducing a child's sugar intake is a good idea irregardless that it has no correlation to hyperactivity. But sometimes people post misinformation that can potentially be harmful so those are the ones where I speak up.
