This is just one of the reasons, I am not giving Syra all the sugary sweets. First off sugar(s) does absolutely nothing for the digestive system, they don't have anything to offer but negatives. Second with the little kids, their bodies are much smaller than ours, making the impact of sugar greater with them. Three I have seen with my own eyes, the sooner you get them started on all the cake, ice cream, candies, etc., it just gets them addicted earlier in life, and the harder it is to break it later in life. I like to call them sugar fiends. Seriously once you introduce them to the refined sugars, it is like driving on the Audubon, once you get a taste of driving at that speed it is hard to drive at 65 mph.
I know that I am walking a fine line, not wanting to be a gestapo (which some think I am, which is fine), and knowing at some point she will be introduced to it. I want to teach her it is important what she chooses to put in her body when she can make that choice. I want her to be informed, and be able to make smart choices for herself. Denton and I were in agreement on this Syra does not need to eat these kinds of foods right now at this point in her life. And you should see how some people judge you so harshly! They sat things like - How can you not give her a cake for her 1st birthday to dig into?, how much can she really digest, it gets mostly smashed!?!
This video is very interesting, my brother in law sent it to me. High-Fructose Corn Syrup is in over 90% in our food that the FDA approves. This video has some great points, so instead of me listing them I posted it for you to watch. It is only about 7 mins long.

I just saw the commercial he is talking about the other day. I am glad you posted this video. It really clears things up.
I knew they were lying, but it feels good to hear someone else say the same.
