Then, with the wheels unattached, I painted them white and added all the messy-swirly color that her car had in the movie. For the filling, I also used foam balls and pool noodles.
At the end of the movie, the Walt Disney Pictures logo is patched on Vanellope's hoodie. I found the car on Facebook Marketplace for ten bucks - it originally was fire engine red, yellow and black - spent at least an hour removing all the stickers and scrubbing it clean, painted the entire thing purple and then added the "pie crust" color along the sides. The current Walt Disney Pictures logo is in Sugar Rush form, with the sky background colored in neon blue, and the castle replaced with Diet Cola Mountain. which is so depressing because I really do not have even one good picture of how detailed/precise it was. The authors hope that their findings “can be used to increase the public’s awareness of the effects of sugar consumption and inform public health policies aimed at decreasing sugar consumption and promoting healthy alternatives.And I'm (definitely) not too modest to admit that her car was my pièce de résistance. However, they also make it clear that more work is necessary to understand how sugar affects different groups of people and how it interacts with other ingredients. Overall, the authors conclude that the “sugar rush” is a myth and that, if anything, a sugary snack is likely to lower mood and make us feel more tired. A sugar rush is an experience of high energy after eating or drinking a considerable amount of sugar in a short period of time, often associated with hyperactive children. Each type of beverage has a different collection of chemicals, many of which theoretically have the potential to interact with sugar. In their current study, the researchers set out to understand the effects of sugar alone, but they note, “it would be interesting to discover whether interactions with other nutrients could more prominently affect mood and emotionality.”Īs sugar-sweetened beverages are a complex cocktail of ingredients, unpicking the effect of each separate component is a huge task. The current meta-analysis looks at carbohydrates in isolation and does not consider other ingredients, but the authors note, “In recent years, research has also focused on the synergistic effects of with other psychoactive constituents, such as caffeine.” Elizabeth Maylor from the University of Warwick, says, “We hope that our findings will go a long way to dispel the myth of the ‘sugar rush’ and inform public health policies to decrease sugar consumption.” “In fact, consumption was related to decreased alertness and higher levels of fatigue within the first hour post-ingestion.” They also looked at the effect of sugar intake after different lengths of time, running separate analyses for the effects at 0–30 minutes, 31–60 minutes, and more than 60 minutes.Ĭontrary to popular belief, the meta-analysis found no evidence of any changes in mood at any of the time points following carbohydrate ingestion. The researchers looked at differences in a range of psychological parameters, including alertness, depression, calmness, fatigue, confusion, tension, and anger. They had also all investigated the effects of acute oral administration of carbohydrates as opposed to the long-term effects. For instance, all of them were randomized control trials that involved healthy adults. All of these studies met specific criteria. They recently published their findings in the journal Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews.įor their analysis, the researchers used data from 31 existing trials. The scientists hail from Humboldt University of Berlin in Germany and from Lancaster University and Warwick University, both in the United Kingdom.
“Interestingly, despite researchers not having reached a consensus regarding the exact effects of sugar on mood, it seems that the public strongly believes in the idea that sugar improves mood and increases activity levels (especially in children).” The authors explain why they decided to investigate: However, the results of the research to date are far from conclusive.Ī group of researchers recently carried out a meta-analysis with the aim of understanding how acute sugar intake affects mood. These types of investigation have reignited public interest in the cognitive effects of sugar intake. One study, as an example, concludes that sugar intake seems to harm long-term psychological health. Recently, a number of researchers have looked in more detail at the relationship between sugar and mental health.
