sugar rushes
Glucose energy spikes
Sugar rushes is the plural of sugar rush—a burst of energy supposedly caused by eating sugary foods.
The concept is popular despite weak scientific support: The kids were on a sugar rush after the birthday cake.
Parents commonly blame children's hyperactivity on sugar rushes, though excitement about treats may matter more than the sugar itself.
