When a person has candida, there is more gut permeability. This means that food in the gut can get from the intestines into the blood stream undigested or partially digested, when candida is present. This undigested food does not belong in the blood stream, and can cause hyperactivity. There is plenty of information on sugar and children. The problem is that it is controversial.
Some research shows that it does cause hyperactivity and aggressiveness in children.
Other research shows that it does not seem to cause any abnormal behavior. The research of Alexander Schauss, author of Diet, Crime and Delinquency, shows that when sugar is removed from a child s diet, school grades go up. The researchers found that the four years which showed gains in national ranking were the same four years in which there were major dietary policy revisions involving sucrose, fats, and food additives. After the policy changes, the schools showed a significant rise in national percentile ranking that correlated to the percentage of children eating school food. During the four years in which the diet changes occurred, the mean national academic performances ranking rose to the 51 percentile.
