Anicdotal evidence is not peer reviewed research. Many, many studies have found no such thing as a sugar rush, regardless of what you think of your four year old.

My theory is that sugar makes kids really really happy. Which makes them hyper.

Mine centers around parties and other gatherings that tend to have sugary foods, but get kids very excited and zipping around with their friends, then the parents blame the birthday cake.

As another parent, stfu and quit representing us badly. Your anecdote doesn't mean shit and "clearly not a parent" is just you trying to get away with anecdote in a weird pretentious way because you have no data. Just because you had sex and it led to a baby doesn't make you an expert in this.
