Are the doctor's always right from book Food Wars

When my son was about eight years old he was ready for bed all sleepy and snuggly. Somehow, he sneaked into the refrigerator and ate a piece of pie. I thought he had gone crazy. He was running around the house and jumping off the furniture when minutes before he was half asleep on the living room floor.  

That morning I had purchased a five-pound bag of sugar. I took the full bag and flushed it down the toilet. Good Riddance.

“When I explained this to his doctor the doctor said, "There are no conclusive studies that prove sugar can cause children to become hyperactive."

I am just a parent. I have eyes and ears and know what I witnessed. 

When is the medical world going to wake up and realize that some of these children, which are paraded into their offices with attention deficit and hyperactivity, might not need medication? They need to have the sugar and caffeine removed from their daily diets. They need to be on some kind of balanced diet.

What do you think?
