Sugary Snack Experiment

When children do not eat a healthy meal, their concentration and energy become more difficult to manage. The “Journal of School Health” issued a study in 2008 about the eating behaviors of approximately 5,000 school children. The research showed that children who ate more fruits and vegetables, accomplished higher grades on tests compared with children who consumed a high-fat, high-salt diet

To help with keeping track of what was being eaten, it was advised to use a diary. Diaries allow researchers to ensure that a proper record of any thoughts and helps to develop a reflexive stance (Miles et al: 2013). Bryman argues that when sequencing behaviour, as in keeping note taking of food consumption, diaries are more likely to perform better than interviews or questionnaires, this is because once any food is eaten, it was taken note of straight away, this eradicating any chance of human error by any forgetting important details as a result making the research valid and reliable, however, there are limitations to diaries, as Bryman notes that diaries can suffer from a process of attrition, individuals may decide that the task itself is tedious (Bryman, A. 2008: 228). What is more, there can be failure to record details as a result affecting the results of the research.

520). Children who are genetically predisposed to developing ADHD are much more likely to suffer from its effects starting at a young age. Researchers have known this for many years, but are still been searching for other contributing factors that they could use to hinder, or even stop, ADHD from affecting a child so drastically. A very hot topic in the field is nutrition, however controversial it may be, and what effects things like junk food, food colorings, artificial flavorings, and generalized food additives have on a young child’s developing brain. Many studies have been conducted that show nutrition’s effect on ADHD symptoms and even link potential causation in children, although for some reason it still remains very controversial. Many large, profitable companies would suffer greatly if it became widely known and accepted that their products were directly causing significant alterations in brain structure and function in young children. It is far too early to reach that drastic of a conclusion quite yet, but there are some strikingly strong correlations and relationships between nutrition in young children, and both the development and significance of symptoms exhibited in young children (Schnoll, Burshteyn, & Cea-Aravena, 2003, p. 65). It is for this reason that the overall poor nutritional structure and patterns of individuals, along with the content of

Nickelson discusses how discouraging sugar-sweetened drinks consumption can make an impact on childhood obesity. This heavily effects preschool age children and the proportion of children consuming sugar-sweetened beverages increases over time. Soda being the most studied is associated with taste preference, habit intentions, television viewing, soda availability at home and school and parental willingness to purchases sodas for children. Other influencers such as child care could reflect on the child’s intake of the sugary drinks. This article also held a study where they figured out that preschool aged children intake more sugary beverages than between the ages of 1 and 2. It’s thought that school settings would be best to intervene to prevent

Children love eating candies. On the other side, adults know that these treats are dangerous and not healthy for the figure and the longevity. However, people often cannot avoid gummy candies even though they know the health risks. The video in this article will help you stop being addicted to gummy candies.

Researchers had hypothesized that bottle fed infants were over fed more rather than their breast fed counterparts. So a study was conducted to see whether or not the infants who were bottle fed turned out to be heavier in weight than those who were breast fed. In order to conduct such a study twenty-one mothers had signed up for the testing of their infants. Within the study the mothers feed their infants the normal ways they would feed them at home and then the ways the researchers had wanted them to feed them. With the results that the researchers got back from the study they were able to calculate that the infant’s intake and rate of feeding could account for the obesity within the infants.

Everybody knows sugar and children do not mix. Children have a hard time focusing in school under normal circumstances, but when sugar is added to the equation it makes focusing and learning a whole lot harder. Sugar can affect the children’s ability to concentrate. It effects normal kids, and has a devastating effect on children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Studies have shown that after lunchtime, when children consume the largest amount of

According to the article of “Sugary Drinks”. New York City’s Board of Health passed a rule of banning super sized sodas in restaurants. This proves that they care about other people health besides themselves. This problem is that New York City’s Board might see or hear about people that are overweight, sickly , and might dissolve your teeth.

Although, some researchers discount sugar more than approve it. A study was done to see if sugar affected a child’s impact to learn. In one study, researchers gave children foods containing either sugar or a sugar substitute every other day. The children who received sugar showed no different behavior or learning capabilities than those who received the sugar substitute. Another study in which children were given higher than average amounts of sugar or sugar substitutes showed similar results (National Institute of Mental Health, 2014).

Opponents of regulating children’s diets may say that it is allowable to have children eat all kinds of foods since eating certain unhealthy foods like sweets are a part of enjoying life as a kid. Although a good point is brought up, there are many other healthy alternatives that are enjoyable for children and can satisfy one’s sugary cravings. As an illustration, many fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, and bananas can be made into delicious fruit smoothies that are healthy and enjoyable. Some may also argue that kids are able to control their choices, and they know which choices are healthy and unhealthy. Still studies have shown that unhealthy foods like sugar are more addicting than cocaine. In fact, in the documentary Fed Up, scientists showed that 43 cocaine addicted rats were given the choice between cocaine water and sugar water. 40 out of the 43 chose the sugar water and showed signs of addiction. This justifies that having children choose between sweets and healthy foods would be an extremely difficult task for candy crazed kids. So, children would be better off with healthy foods in their diets. In conclusion, regulating children’s diets is very beneficial to children in many

The chewy candy we love so much today first was made in 1974 at first skittles were in great britain for five years until in 1979 the north americans were introduced to the rainbow known as the skittles after three years of being imported to north america from the UK skittles started being manufactured in the US like it did in great britain.

Eat a marshmallow now or eat 2 in 15 minutes? That’s what 600 four-year olds were asked in 1972 at Stanford University by a man that goes by the name of Walter Mischel. Needless to say, most kids decided to wait. There was another option though, If they were not able to be patient they were left with a bell to ring in case they wanted to eat the marshmallow right then and there. The main focus on this experiment was to see how willpower was being used in their early life stage.

First, refined sugars not only fuel good cells, but are a feast for malicious, cancerous cells. Though it is commonly accepted that sugar is, indeed, bad for one’s health, many do not know the extent of harm that can be done. As one study states “Eating lots of sugar over time can cause you to gain weight, and robust scientific evidence shows that being overweight or obese increases the risk of 13 different types of cancer...This is an urgent problem: the world is slowly drifting into an obesity crisis, with the condition already linked to nearly 500,000 cancer cases worldwide every year” (Smith). With the obesity crisis becoming exponentially worse in America, it is no wonder that cancer rates have risen as well. Although many people would like to “find the cure”

My question is: Does cinnamon chewing gum reduce bacteria in mouth more than other flavors? My hypothesis is that cinnamon chewing gum does reduce more bacteria than other flavored gum. I am doing this project out of curiosity in my part, but also because this topic sounds interesting. We have known from a young age that gum is apparently bad for you and causes cavities , But lately researchers have found out that gum actually reduces the amount of bacteria in our mouths. “Now all the sugar in gum is often replaced by artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol, xylitol, or mannitol. The addition of xylitol and its sugarless companions have been found to reduce the formation of oral biofilms — cause of infectious diseases such as cavities and
