Does sugar make kids hyperactive? NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO. 

The persistence of this lie is fascinating, and in this video, Dr. Aaron Carroll breaks it all down and explains that not all medical studies were created equal, even though you usually don’t hear that in reporting about how, say, red wine cures cancer or scrambled eggs cause it.

Dr. Aaron Carroll, Stan, and Mark are working together on this new project Health Care Triage.

Given the massive amounts of misinformation out there, I think it’s a hugely important project. Congrats to all involved!
