well don't forget that it is the candy company posting this information

i doubt that they would outright lie, but it could be that the hyperactivity is a more complicated subject depending on many factors, and the candy company simplified that information in a way that shows them in the best light. It might be that sugar doesn't cause clinical hyperactivity in children (just like "doing something" didn't make us depressed or bipolar). But that doesn't mean sugar doesn't add to it and also some children may tolerate sugar without getting hyper.

I have no children so I'm not speaking from any experience, just thinking about the post.
