[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 160588, member: 1991"] I think as far as sugar is concerned, it comes down to what we each observe in our own kids. There are a lot of variables involved because a lot of sugary drinks/foods have other additives too, such as artificial colouring and preservatives. I find preservatives a big problem especially with cosmetics and eye drops, I have to make my own and avoid any commercial preparations. mother in law has similar problems and couldn't understand why her favourite brand of hypoallergenic skin creams now cause a reacftion - it's because regulatgions have changed and now they all have to contain preservatives. mother in law was blaming it on Vitamin E, because she first had the reaction to a cream which advertised itself as being loaded with Vitamin E. But you get levels of Vitamin E in sesame oil, for example, and I showed her how her skin does not react to sesame oil. easy child used to believe she reacted to sugar, that it made her hyperactive. She and her friends would load up on sugar sachets from cafes, and eat them "to get high". I didn't notice any difference, they always seemed manic to me, whether on sugar or not. But she DID react to one particular food colouring, it made her hyper and irritable. I think this is a case of whatever you identify as a trigger, yourself, applies to yourself. Marg [/QUOTE]
