I don't have kids, but I have worked as a cashier. For those who still think sugar causes hyperactivity, let me tell you: the kids get hyper when they see the gumball machine, not when they get the candy.
In fact, if you have a kid "[whose] hyperactivity is caused by sugar and artificial colours", try this experiment.
1. Stand next to the kid in a calm environment.
2. Whisper in its ear, "Candy candy candy candy candy".
3. Record your observations.

There's a certain batch of E-number colours that set her off and it's exactly the same progression each time: strange look, odd noises, increasingly impulsive behaviour followed by depression and a patch of exhaustion, roughly fifteen-twenty minutes after eating them.

It's bloody hard work in Australia as they still use colours banned in Europe plus the others and nearly everything has at least one yellow colour in it.
Sugar doesn't seem to do much to her.
Nya-nya.

(Seriously, given the sensitivity of children, only food-based colours should be used)
