Did you know that sugar doesn’t alter the behaviour of children?
It appears that up to 12 different studies, double blind studies at that, have determined that sugar does not alter their behaviour, even if the children have ADHD. What they did discover, however, was that the parents rated their children as more hyperactive due to the sugar. It was all in the parents minds. As a small observation from me; the parents were probably by proxy changing the children’s behaviour as well.
So think about it, the next time you want to stop your kids from eating sugar, are you doing it for the right reasons? It’s better to focus on feeding your kids healthy food as to avoid them turning into humongous lard-buckets.
Mukker rundt på kjøkkenet igjen, finner meg litt internett for å få tiden til å gå, og jaggu detter eg over traileren til oppfølgeren til eitt av mine favoritt-spel, American McGee’s Alice. Og jaggu meg jobber dei visst med ein oppfølger til Beyond Good & Evil også. Lat oss håpe neste Elder Scrolls spel blir bedre enn Oblivion, så har me eit helsikes tre-kløver.
A while back I decided to check out the various cereals out there because I really love me some hot stuff in the morning. They all contained abnormal amounts of sugar, or they were simply too expensive, so I decided to make my own. I nabbed oats, shredded coconut, almonds, and raisins. From a flatmate I got the tip to add dry milk powder in it as well. Which is brilliant since I don’t drink milk, and would hardly drink enough for the milk to last.
From there on the cereal’s evolution has progressed onwards. I’ve added peanut kernels (which’re bloody awesome), cinnamon, Axa Fruktmüsli (as it was dirt cheap, 9.50,- at Coop Extra! not to mention acceptable levels of sugar. I hope). One of the latest additions have been flax seeds and sunflower seeds. All of them are yummy additions. As a matter of fact I’m going to try chili powder tomorrow morning, just for kicks.
The fun part is adding boiled water to the mix, and then eating it as soon as it’s cooled down a bit. Immensely delicious start on the day alongside coffee and water.
When using oil in a salad I recommend a virgin olive oil (unheated and/or unprocessed), and then adding whatever you want sprinkled on top. Makes for a neat, simple taste. Google for advanced dressings.
