[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 468642, member: 11847"] I'm not sure about sugar, but I know for a fact that all the additives are extremely unhealthy. My oldest had severe GERD (acid reflux) and had to be hospitalized over it. He is now on a very restrictive diet. Until I started cooking everything from scratch, he would still have symptoms and require medication. Now he is completly symptom free and can even eat food that should be forbidden as long as I cook it from scratch and wholesome foods. The famous exemple: home made brownies are fine but definitely not store bought ones. Home made tomatoe sauce from home grown tomatoes no pb, tomatoe sauce out of a can and that's a disaster. If it affects my son's GERD so much, I don't think it would be much of stretch to say it would affect other disorders such as ADHD. But then, when it's not life threatening (like my son's GERD), how do you implement it with kids??? I never buy candies, but the school always finds occasions to just give them to the kids. It would be sooo hard to fight that. We would have to prove to our kids that sweets do affect their behavior/lives in a very negative way... and I'm not sure they would realize it. I don't believe the difference would be that drastic... [/QUOTE]
