Err, let me try remembering the information I got from a medical series I watched over a year ago - a bit sketchy though.
You can do a Google search to confirm/research the info...or better still, open a thread in the health section.

I believe the question you're asking has something to do with what they call a 'sugar-high'.
A sugar-high is temporary, and is not supposed to last too long after the kid has a meal containing sugar. It occurs in kids of a certain age group.

What happens is that the kid becomes more active (hyper) once the body starts breaking down the sugar and converting it - he/she may become more playful and display some excessive excitement.
It is temporary, and does not last too long.

That's about all I can remember, a medical professional will definitely explain it better.

Though,i've heard some parents complaining that their little children get hyper-active after consuming a substance of high sugar content.
