What form of sugar is the most effective in making people hy

[mikaelaw]

I really need an expert because i am flusterated i just want an opinion on "What form of sugar is the most effective in making people hyper?"

[deleted-44887]

probably the sugar that taste the sweetest, i am not sure, but i like to help

This could potentially be a very interesting project. You probably want to look up common sugars such as lactose, glucose, sucrose, fructose, galactose, etc. You would also want to consider how you will measure hyperactivity; I suggest perhaps measuring heart rate or blood pressure or looking at the results of a test when there is some distraction present, or...

Can you tell us a little bit more about what you're thinking of doing, and what you need help with?

thanks guys for trying to help me If you could I need more Info thanks

Dear mikaelaw,

Kirby was somewhat right. The sugars that taste the sweetest (sugars/carbohydrates made up of the smallest molecules) give you the quickest amount of energy. These include glucose and fructose. They give you the quickest amount of energy because your body only accepts glucose as a source of energy, so any other type of sugar is converted to glucose to give you energy. Therefore, if someone eats glucose, it's already able to be used for energy, so it will give you the quickest amount of energy. Although, if you eat glucose, your energy boost will be short lived. Overall, a sugar like glucose will make you hyper, the fastest out of any sugar, but it is short lived. Long term hyperactivity would probably result from continued ingestion of glucose, because eating other types of sugars will release energy over time, rather than in one burst.

let me know if you have any more questions

good luck,

Again, can you tell us exactly what you need help with and what you are planning to do? Are you having trouble designing the experiment, or doing background research, or...? We cannot really help you without more information from you.
