Came across the large tubes of smarties today at Sainsbury's, priced at 50p but scanned at 30p, keeps the kids quiet and the young at heart like myself :smile:

Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions. Always thought science was based on fact! Bowsers are used by utility companies for spreading sewerage. Excessive Smarties or any excessive sugar makes children hyper - oh, you've been on the Smarties! Says it all. Now back to your "research". Bargain 30p Smarties for children's treats in moderation lol!

Absolutely, I'm hoping her silence means that she's realised how wrong she was about the whole topic and decided to stop commenting about it as a result. Who knows, maybe she ever decided to read around the subject instead of spewing out such nonsense!

A few of you what? Uneducated grandmas? I feel like if someone told you that pigs could fly, your gullible self would believe it in a heartbeat.Seriously, do you have any sort of background education? You're trying to argue against fact. You're not going to get anywhere with that. Like I said, you are deluded to think otherwise. What's stopping you from googling to topic in hand and doing a little bit of research?

Your education in creating theories based on "seem" proves my point. Not a jot of fact. As I said, try basing yourself in a roomful of excessively-sugar-charged children while you read your research papers, see how far you get. Oh and don't forget to validate your research using real parents/grandparents/carers in practical situations. Preferably educated parents/grandparents/carers, -then you have the benefit of education AND practical experience. There are a few of us about!

Assumptions of what? You clearly seem uneducated. If you can't even google research papers which prove what you're saying is absolute BS, then there's no hope for you. Seriously, stop embarrassing yourself.

"broswer"? Your education does you proud! Are assumptions part of your education and theorising too??? Validates the "research" then. As I said, get REAL...

Because you're an Internet Browser with absolutely no real experience of the affects of excessive sugar on real children in the real world. Simple. Get REAL.

First of all, that's just a username and has no meaning to my occupation or lifestyle. Secondly, it's Bowser, not broswer. I think I'm just been unlucky enough to attempt to educate someone who clearly has no background education themselves and instead lives a life of delusion. If you can't be bothered to attempt to learn about factual information, that's your choice, but keep it to yourself, since we live in a world where we meant to move forward with science and technology, not backwards. It's people like you that slow down the progression of knowledge and instead live in some sort of fantasy world.

Actually yes, I do have a degree in it - I'm a dietitian and what you're saying is absolute nonsense. You should really stop spreading false information to other people. If a balloon full of helium rises, does that mean gravity doesn't exist? Just because you think there's a correlation, doesn't mean it's true. Like I've said, it's been PROVEN to be a myth - I have no idea why you're trying to argue against scientific fact.

I've been doing practical research for 40+ years. How long and in-depth has your research been? Theories, theories, theories! You got a degree in it too? When you've been in a room of children who have ingested too many sugary things - and seen the difference for yourself - now that's research. Grow up and get real....

I speak from a biological fact. That myth has been debunked by a lot of research. What's next, are you going to tell me that the MMR vaccine causes autism? Do some research before snapping back at someone.

You speak from experience with how many children/grandchildren? I'm up to a total of 15 over a period of 40+ years, and sweets/chocolate are fine in moderation - but a whole large tube of coloured chocolate smarties in one go???? And with the intention of "keeping them quiet"?????? I suspect that's a forlorn hope. A bowlful of chopped up fresh fruit/carrots etc would keep them occupied and "quiet" much more successfully. That's no myth.

Kids won't be quiet for long when left to eat a tube full of chocolate and colouring......... sugar overload!
