Pixy+Stix

1.) Title: .The Effects of Pixy Stix on Blood Glucose Levels 2.) Abstract: Using pixy stix to test blood sugar levels. The study proved that pixy stix increases blood sugar drastically after consuming a chosen amount. Students consumed .5 - 2.0 oz. of the pixy stix. Each student experienced a positive increase in their blood sugar levels. 3.) Introduction: Pixy Stix is a powdered candy packaged in a wrapper that resembles a drinking straw. This candy was created by Wonka company to give kids a fun eating experience, advertising imagination that sparks in every child's mind. We wanted to know how much Pixy Stix effected our blood sugar levels. We expected our blood sugar to increase. We could find no previous studies on blood glucose levels influenced by pixy stix. Independent Variable = Pixy Stix (2 oz.) effect on student's blood sugar levels. Dependant Variable = The students consuming the pixy stix. 4.) Methods: Study Group = Students (1 Male, 3 Female) Conditions of Study = Down 3 Jumbo Pixy Sticks Experimental Group = Students (1 Male, 3 Females) Group = 2 Oz.Pixy Sticks Data was collected by taking a baseline blood sugar using a SurgiLance Safety Lancet and a Freestyle Lite Blood Glucose Testing System. Students were tested before and after consumption of Pixy Stix. 5.) Results: || ? || ( Restate information above ) 6.) Discussion We found that, in all cases, pixy stix consumption increased blood glucose levels. We expected these results to happen because of the high amount of sucrose and dextrose that we found to be in each serving of pixy stix. Each student's increase of blood sugar was between 60 - 80% and proved that pixy stix provides an increase of blood glucose levels.
