Jocelyn, No test just logic (mine, a couple of nutristionists & a few doctors). She's boarderline hyperactive even without sugar, usually warm to the touch (except extremities sometimes), and it doesn't make any difference how much gummy bears or Coca Cola she ingests, she just doesn't put on weight like the rest of us.
