Sugar, a sweet temptation and a bitter reality.
It is a daily food and often excessive. It is synonymous with disease. Reduce your intake would help a lot.
Although the sugar in food is part of the basic family, the truth is that it is indispensable. It is a pure carbohydrate, has no nutrient more: no fiber or amino acids, minerals or vitamins ... nothing. Rather causes tooth decay, promotes obesity and many experts say it worsens the symptoms of hyperactivity.
"Sugar is the ideal food for bacteria, so tooth decay. Although we recognize that it is the only cause, other factors also produce bites, "says the dentist Ana Maria Sarabia.
These other factors include tooth structure (very pronounced in the fissures of the teeth stay bacteria), decalcification (less calcium, more bites), lack of saliva (patients who do not have or have in aggressively develop cavities small amount).
Now, says Dr. Sarabia, "if we all factors that influence the development of caries, but we wash properly (brushing and flossing) eliminates the problem. You do not need mouthwash, which is a chemical that kills the good and bad bacteria in the mouth (some of them defend the stomach infections). "

Furthermore, since the processed sugar has no other nutrients to your body metabolism invests vitamins and minerals. Therefore, in children who consume lots of sugar, this element can displace vitamins and minerals essential for proper brain functioning.
Thus, concludes Dr. Rocca, some hyperactive children who eat too much sugar can be harmed. Or seen another way, hyperactive children who consume low-sugar significantly improve their symptoms.
"However, it should be noted that the issue is controversial. There are reports in favor of sugar aggravates hyperactivity in children and others who have not demonstrated. My opinion is that they should limit their consumption in hyperactive children, and everyone in general should do well. "
