Okay, so:

Health 24 (http://www.health24.com/dietnfood/Eating_throughout_life/15-50-660,25863.asp) notes that studies have shown that sugar does not cause hyperactivity in children, and in fact has a calming effect.

MedicineNet (http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=52516) says the same thing, and even quotes a psychiatry professor from UT-San Antonio as saying "the biggest myth of all is that food has any connection to behavior."

You know, for non-UVA sources.
