A remarkable video has emerged of TV astronomer Mark Thompson investigating the energy contained in a Jelly Baby. <br /><br />In the footage, shot in the UK on Sunday, Thompson explains that a 1994 study proved that sugar does not make children hyperactive contrary to the common belief. <br /><br />He, however, shows the energy contained in the five grams of sugar present in each sweet by putting one in a test tube containing liquid potassium chloride.<br /><br />The potassium chloride oxydises the sugar in the sweet which releases its energy.
