cheese

cheese 2?

Simple solution, don't go to Church. Then your freay kids can eat whatever the hell they want.

Oh, and cheese 4

There is so much more to this "parenting" than I ever imagines.

Would cheese 8 be appropriate here?

She says sugar feeds the growth of a yeast known as candida, which can trigger Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-like mood swings when it overruns the body.

Sweet. Now tell me what I need to feed 'em to turn 'em into werewolves. Because that would be really cool.

...and yes, I imagines all kind of things, spelling nazis.

Sugar is the gateway drug.

Captain Irreverence

Pah, werewolves are so cliche. How about werefishes? That'd be fun.

Alcohol was my gateway drug.

Better advice. Don't take them to church at all.

Hash brownies would probably be useful prechurch.

Sweet Jesus! Easter Candy And Church Dont Mix

Haha, great headline.

cute.

Fluid: Pah, werewolves are so cliche. How about werefishes? That'd be fun.

Half man, half fish? Wouldn't that be a mermaid?

Good god, you're right. That would be fun!

Simmah down and come to cheesus.

Heh.

Sexual chocolate

Jebus preferred wine not candy ... so parents should follow that teaching.

//one-way, please

I had a date with this girl a few years ago, and we stopped to visit a friend of hers, whose children she babysat. The kids were out of control. Their mom kept apologizing for how wild they were. I noticed that in every room, there was a plate of cookies or brownies or a jar of candy. I didn't say anything, though, 'cause I was all nice and polite back then.

Well that really does depend on what kind of church one goes to, doesn't it?



\Now that is church.

a quick link about hpyeractivty and sugar, sorry no hyperlink

http://web4health.info/en/answers/adhd-cause-sugar.htm

YAH ACTIN' HYPAH! QUIT IT AWE I'M GONNA MAKE YAH SIT IN THE CAH!

and if you dont believe that then go to webmd

They should put extra-sugar in the hosts, this way, all people who communiate will be hyper, too.

woohoo, candida, just take my hand and ill lead ya.

nevermind.

little Chrissy???

You're dating yourself!

/sadly I thought of that too...

EL_FABREZ,

Damn you and your post to a logical site. Seriously though, a lot of people believe there is a link. I have stopped telling people in my family that my kid will not get hyper because they have an M&M.

one more time


give em cheese

Get hyper or get brainwashed?

I hate that candida crap. Total pseudoscience garbage. How is yeast supposed to grow in a couple of hours and how is that supposed to make kids hyper? Where exactly does the candida grow? These people will tell you that it grows inside your body. I got news: I've seen people with candida in their blood and these people are SICK. Fever, shock, that kind of thing.

/head explodes

Ummmm.... no.

That naturopathic doc is full of shiat, if she had gone to actual medical school the poor thing wouldnt be so hopelessly confused about microbiology and pathology

Baloney. I bet you this woman doesn't have children.

I am a parent of 4 children, aged 8-14. I can say that I have NEVER seen children become hyper because of sugar. They become hyper on the days where they receive a lot of sugar. These days are Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, etc. It is more reasonable to believe the kids go berzerk because of the holiday and the candy has nothing to do with it.

Sugar might provide energy, but to say sugar causes "hyperactivity" (read: behavior problems) is a total cop-out for a parent.

Can I get an oxymoron check over here? Stat!

hiyyy everybodaaaaa

Forsythe P. Jones: Heh.

Not normally one to quote lyrics in these but:

Well, I don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the bible
I got my own special way

I know Jesus loves me
maybe just a little bit more
I fall down on my knees every Sunday
at Zerelda Lee's candy store

Well, I've got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied....

I know what's happening. When you mix sugar and yeast, and put them in a warm, dark place, you get alcohol. The poor kids are half-drunk by the time they're done with church. It's a wonder they don't stagger out of the doors afterward.

Sigh... And by medication I mean drugs that have been tested on monkeys and baby seals, not stuff I'm likely to find in my garden.

That ignorant views is the stuff the lets them hide their ignorant views. They do go to school for 3-4 yrs for Naturopathic Medicine. And it doesn't have to be chemically produced, to be work- it can grow in your garden, on an old iece of bread, but it has to be studied using real science- blind and reproducable which is where Naturopathic Medicine fails the science test.

herne,

Is there a translator available so that I could read your post and comprehend it?

Thinking faster then I type (with distractions)- sounds like you wouldn't understand

"According to naturopathic doctor Eileen Silva."
God damn why did I go to college when I could have just made shiat up. Well I'm a Takeyourmoneyandgotomexicoligist how can I be of service?

"She says sugar feeds the growth of a yeast known as candida, which can trigger Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-like mood swings when it overruns the body." Umm, I think if your kids have a yeast infection there is a problem other than candy.

Candy does not cause temper tantrums; spoiled give em everything they want bad parenting does... or you could just have a kid that is retarded spaz. But even well behaved kids get a little out of control now and then, they are frickin kids, it's not the damn sugar.
Not that you should give your kids tons of crapy stuff.

A better plan is don't take them to church. They will become better people for it... and probably have a lesser chance of getting molested.

Just don't go to church.

Problem solved.

Happy kids.

/who'd want to torture themselves with a "solemn" trip to the church
//why are religious people always so sad or frightened on moment and thumpitty-thump-thump happy the next?

I support the scientific method and I am ok with vivesection if it results in a better life for humanity.

But other then the impulse of those that would be attracted to it, Naturopathic Medicine does not preclude animal testing. It is an approach to medicine that is not flawed, but because it seems to attract flakes it is not studied sufficiently as a science.

A piece of candy isn't a problem. The problem is that a lot of parents let their kids consume half their body weight in candy and soda. One of our friends' kid's two front teeth rotted out. They tried to blame it on weak enamel not the 5-6 one pound bags of candy they always have laying around their house (I'm not exageratting on this) and the strawberry juice with three different types of added sugar their kid sucks down.

caiteach,

Could be a lack of Flouride in the drinking water as well.

squidloe,

Trust me. There is no lack of chemicals in Indianapolis drinking water.

meh, I don't know about you namby-pamby Protestants, but real Catholics fast before Mass anyway, so sugar hyeractivity is replaced by lethargic starvation coma.

/parent refused to acknowledge Vatican II

Urban legend- there has never been any scientifically supported link between sugar intake and hyperactivity. Children are just naturally active. If you told parents that fat makes you hyperactive then they'll start saying their kids go nuts each time after eating a hamburger.

ZeroCorpse: I'd turn tricks for a Lindt Chocolate Bar.


And 8 dollars?

Weren't there a bunch of studies that showsed sugar, in fact, did not cause hyperactivity in children? I recall reading about it in Readers Digest this month.

(Yes, I read RD. What else are you going to take to the bathroom?)

herne: at Zerelda Lee's candy store



Why did I always hear that as "Reveille's" candy store?

/needs a Tom Wait's translator

Ummm.....Playboy? Oui? Popular Mechanics?

Weren't there a bunch of studies that showsed sugar, in fact, did not cause hyperactivity in children? I recall reading about it in Readers Digest this month.

Yep, the sugar/hyperness connection was disproven in the laboratory a few years ago. It's officially a parental copout now.

additionally i'd have to add the damn rats *cough* sorry, kids probably are hypersensitive to the amounts off caffeine in the candy, since the don't chug coffee like me. parents just need to learn to beat the shiat out of *cough* sorry, discipline their kids to condition them *cough* sorry, raise them properly.

EL_FABREZ, actually Chocolate has very little caffeine (esp. milk chocolate which is what most kids eat) in it. You would have to eat around 2lbs for it to have the effect of a cup of coffee.

well then my second presumption was right, people just need to whup their kids more often... OR congress could pass a bill saying other people can discipline other peoples kids when they're acting batshiat crazy

Wow, I didn't RTFA at first. What a bunch of crap, all from, big surprise, a naturopath. Which means a quack.

It's not the sugar and artificial crap in the candy, those kids obviously have a disease known as ADD. Break out the Ritalin!

/couldn't possibly be related to the fact church is boring either

Different kids have different reactions to candy, sugar, and the excitment of Holidays. I have five children...ages 2-15. Only one of them...my nine year old daughter....is sensitive to sugar. I swear, it is almost like she has a sugar allergy. She goes ballistic if she gets too much sugar at one time. It has no effect at all on the other four kids.

I pretty much let them pig out on the candy before church. And they always get more candy in Sunday School. I figure the faster they eat it, the faster it will be gone and I won't have to look at it anymore.
