Sucrose
Sucrose is the organic compound commonly known as table sugar and sometimes called
saccharose.
Information from the
National Institutes of Health:
Hyperactivity and sugar
Hyperactivity refers to increased movement, impulsiveness, distractibility, and
decreased attention span. A popular but controversial belief is that children are
more likely to be hyperactive if they eat sugar, artificial sweeteners, or certain
food colorings.
Some people claim that sugar (such as sucrose), aspartame (NutraSweet), and artificial
flavors and colors cause hyperactivity and other behavior problems in children.
Some people argue that children should follow special diets that limit the amount
of sugar, flavorings, or colors they eat.
It is important to remember that activity levels in children vary with their age.
A 2 year old is usually more active, and has a shorter attention span, than a 10
year old. A child's attention level also will vary depending on his or her interest
in an activity. The tolerance level of the supervising adult also plays a role --
parents may be able to tolerate a highly active child at a playground in the morning,
for example, better than they can at home late at night.
However, if a special diet of foods without artificial flavors or colors works for
a child, it may be because that family has begun to interact with each other differently
when they are following the special diet. These behavioral changes, not the diet
itself, may improve the child's own behavior and activity level.
Refined (processed) sugars may have some effect on children's activity. Because
refined sugars and carbohydrates enter the bloodstream quickly, they produce rapid
fluctuations in blood glucose levels. This might trigger adrenaline and make a child
more active. Sometimes, falling adrenaline levels bring on a period of decreased
activity.
Regardless of the true impact of sugar on children's activity level, remember that
sugar remains the major culprit in tooth decay. Limit the amount of processed sugars
that your children eat as much as possible.
High-sugar foods tend to have fewer vitamins and minerals, and may replace more
nutritious foods. High-sugar foods also have many unnecessary calories that can
lead to obesity.
Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency
Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID) is a genetic condition that affects
a person's ability to digest certain sugars. People with this condition cannot break
down the sugars sucrose (a sugar found in fruits, and also known as table sugar)
and maltose (the sugar found in grains). CSID usually becomes apparent after an
infant begins to consume fruits, juices, and grains. After ingestion of sucrose
or maltose, an affected child will typically experience stomach cramps, bloating,
excess gas production, and diarrhea. These digestive problems can lead to failure
to thrive and malnutrition. Most affected children are better able to tolerate sucrose
and maltose as they get older.
