In the "well duh?!" department.

According to this article, kids who drink caffinated beverages are less attentive and generally have higher Connor scores (a standard measure of ADHD/ADD) than kids who drink decaf. And it took a big study to figure this out. If you walk into any Wal-Mart in the US on a Saturday you see the effects of this right in front of your eyes with kids bouncing off the aisles hyped up on Coke and Super Sugar Bombs. One good thing to come out of it though is the assertion that kids need to be looked at on multiple levels, including diet, for diagnosis of ADHD/ADD.
I guess Mike Judge got it right 10+ years ago!
