Their badysis revealed that sugar consumption had virtually no effect on mood, regardless of the amount of sugar consumed by participants.
In contrast, sugar users felt more tired and less alert than those who did not eat them.

"Our results very clearly indicate that such claims are not justified – sugar could even make you feel worse."
