When one Swedish mom put her entire family on a sugar-free diet, she thought it might help them kick their cravings for sweet treats, but she didn’t expect it to change her daughter’s entire behavior.
The BBC points out that there’s little research that supports the idea that sugar affects behavior, but Larsson says that her daughter’s “taste buds are like new,” and that “we know that it’s bad to give a lot of sugar to kids, or to anyone, so it’s not news.”
Larsson’s not necessarily wrong about that. Some experts believe that sugar might be worse for you than previously believed and that cutting down on sugar is the key to combating the obesity and diabetes epidemics in the U.S.
Larsson also stressed that she’s not banning her daughter from eating sugar ever again. “I never said you cannot have sugar…but you cannot eat it every day,” she told the BBC.
