thank you all! you make me feel like I'm not such a terrible person for wanting to ban the sweets.I totally agree that it is my job to combat the brainwashing society is doing. I really think it would do my daughter some good. I think sugar is just one of the triggers that i have noticed. but i want to try it before my Dr tries to put her on ritalin or something. WE already dillute the apple juice and i've been giving her fruit and veggies instead of fruit snacks. How long do you think before we will notice a difference in her behavior? EXACTLY!
