"A challenge study design was employed, in which thirty-five 5- to 7-year-old boys reported by their mothers to be behaviorally "sugar sensitive," and their mothers, were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, mothers were told their children had received a large dose of sugar, whereas in the control condition mothers were told their sons received a placebo; all children actually received the placebo (aspartame). Mothers and sons were videotaped while interacting together and each mother was then questioned about the interaction. Mothers in the sugar expectancy condition rated their children as significantly more hyperactive."

Real doctors have been telling people to get more exercise, eat more fruit and veg and drink plenty of fluids for a long long time.

""The research, led by scientists from Imperial College London and published in The Lancet, compared body mass index (BMI) among almost 20 million adult men and women from 1975 to 2014. It found obesity in men has tripled and more than doubled in women. Lead author Prof Majid Ezzat said it was an "epidemic of severe obesity" and urged governments to act. The study, which pooled data from adults in 186 countries, found that the number of obese people worldwide had risen from 105 million in 1975 to 641 million in 2014. Meanwhile the number of underweight people had risen from 330 million to 462 million over the same period."" http://www.bbc.com/news/health-35933691
Not much new there, states the obvious, just a simple quote from this week.
I have never heard from anyone that they were given a doctor's advice to eat oatmeal for breakfast, however I have heard from dozens of family or friends or acquaintances who were prescribed cholesterol medications (which have side effects such as increasing the risk of liver cancer).

Said no one who works at McDonalds corporate office, ever. A friend of mine feeds his kids fast food all the time because he has been confused by purposeful misinformation ("corporate marketing"). His kids act blood-sugar-insane and he says they're "moody". Then he allows them to eat candy (which has ingredients which have increased fat & sugar ratio over the years). It is a wonder how humans are surviving at all in the past few decades. Summer is coming up and that means outdoor parties. Sales of hot dogs are continuing to break new records - a product that has anti-nutritional content today. I don't even run into people who can cook anymore. I suggested at a recent private event which was catered using onsite chefs, yet which had only "steak" or "chicken breast" on the menu, that they provide something simple for non meat eaters, such as grilled eggplant. This event had millionaires in attendance, they could afford better food. The suggestions were met with ridiculous arguments for why they could only offer steak. Then I found the real reason: the menu was decided by a subgroup called the "house committee", which is likely made up of the (uneducated, misinformed, and timid) wives of the millionaires - yet this group was in charge of the nutritional needs of three hundred people.
How about the abnormally high lead content in the residential water supply of certain U.S. towns right now? Given a rubber stamp of approval by everyday government workers due to budget signoffs and timidity. Lead will haunt that population group's health for decades.
Meanwhile there are small communities and internet sites dedicated to exploring uses and benefits of common ingredients like apple cider vinegar. The efforts won't receive any R&D funding because there's no financial return on investment for corporations or startups (not patentable).
