Andrew Whitehouse never expected his work as an autism researcher to put him in danger. But that’s exactly what happened soon after he and his colleagues reported in 2020 that few autism interventions used in the clinic are [backed by solid evidence](https://www.autismcrc.com.au/interventions-evidence). Within weeks, a range of clinicians, therapy providers and professional organizations had threatened to sue [Whitehouse](https://www.spectrumnews.org/opinion/beyond-the-bench-a-conversation-with-andrew-whitehouse/) or had issued complaints about him to his employer. Some harassed his family, too, putting their safety at risk, he says.

This study did not find any evidence that ADHD development is related with consumption of sugar from snacks. However, we found that low intake of vitamin C or low consumption of fruits as snacks is associated with higher ADHD risk (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05). The intakes of simple sugar from snacks alone were 58.4 g and 50.2 g by the normal group and risk group, respectively, whereas a total of 57.2 g of simple sugar from regular meals was consumed. Therefore, continuing education on the right selection of snacks and on proper nutritional intake is needed for students to prevent unintended overindulgence of simple sugar.
