[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 401838, member: 1514"] I noticed with my boys when they were younger that sugar had no effect on them unless they ate giant quantities that were absurd. Like an entire bag of candy bars or something and even then they just got a tad bit more hyperactive. Not even enough that you could tell much...just a bit more giggly. We did have one school lunch lady who attempted to force her will upon all the kids who took ADHD medications and not allow them to drink the little containers of chocolate milk at school. I was livid. In elementary school, my boys were both in slim pants and needed the extra calories during the day. They both consumed their entire lunches including all the vegetables so letting them have the chocolate milk was not hurting them. Heck Jamie went back for extra fried okra! He traded his pudding cups for other kids fried okra..lol. I do refuse to buy dyed red hot dogs even if we are from the south. I also dont buy any red koolaid. Not so much for the red dye in kool aid because they actually use beet juice last time I was informed but that stuff stains like no tomorrow. I love the new clear water drinks they have out now that only have like between 5 to 30 calories per serving. I also dont like MSG because it gives me headaches but I hear the aspartame thing constantly. I have never seen a difference for me. Have tried giving it up, changed to splenda, drank tab before aspartame was put in diet soda...I just dont see any difference in it with me. But Tab...ick...boy was I a happy camper when Diet Coke came out. I simply cannot drink regular soda anymore. Tastes like syrup to me. Sickly sweet. [/QUOTE]
