Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether there is a link between sugar consumption, especially from soft drinks, and the development of ADHD symptoms in children and adolescents, finding a positive correlation.
  • The study analyzed data from seven observational studies with nearly 26,000 individuals, using statistical models to measure the strength of the relationship; results showed that higher sugar and soft drink intake is associated with increased ADHD risk.
  • Despite the findings, there was variability among the studies, and the authors recommend more well-designed research to better understand how sugar may influence ADHD symptoms.]
