Your meta analysis link is about mood, and not energy levels.  I know in layman's terms most people conflate the two, but this is a scientific paper so they're not the same.  And your other link is an article by someone mixing medical terms with layman's terms to come up with something incorrect. This is why people are losing trust in science, it's because of stuff like this where people misinterpret scientific results to try to get as many views as possible.
You know people can easily do this experiment for themselves right?  In fact, I do it most days at about 2:30.  As my blood sugar drops after lunch and I start to get tired and unfocused I will often have a piece of fruit or small piece of candy.  Do you really need a scientific paper to see there is something askew with what you are saying?  If so, here is your scientific paper:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3820066/.

The sugar snack condition was associated with significantly higher tension after 1 hr, and a pattern of initially increased energy and reduced tiredness, followed 1 hr later by increased tiredness and reduced energy.
