Could be the caffeine, could be the parenting. I wonder what would happen if those kids switched to coffee instead.

Caffeine is a strong drug IMO. I abstained for a few years in my mid 20s and got back into it during the espresso boom in Seattle. Good Lord I got high on that stuff the first few times I imbibed. Probably did from then on but I noticed it more after being away from it.

Filling up little kids with sugared water makes them behave differently? Oh surely not.
What parent hasn't figured this out? If they haven't, they aren't paying any attention to their kids. |

Of course. OTOH, they have to compete with huge advertising budgets from some very deep pocketed corps. McDs has a $2B annual advertising budget. They make huge money from soft drinks.

Old school teachers trick ~ last 5 minutes of the day fill the kids up with lollies & other high sugar treats, sends the kids home as high as kites ! Payback for parents sending kids to school with sugary lunches after a sugar filled breakfast.

Mercury in High Fructose Corn Syrup is drawing attention. Soda is full of HFCS.
I have played with a blood glucose tester like a diabetic uses to dose insulin. I am convinced that HFCS is worse for people than sugar. Cancer is the second leading killer of children behind accidents. Leukemia is the leading cancer in children. Environmental factors are also directly linked to Leukemia in children. Killing kids for profit is bad form in my opinion. Profit from their destruction in other ways for 50 years or so and then you can still profit from killing them, slow death. Win, win. |

Are you saying that soda causes leukemia? This is my first time hearing that. Obesity and diabetes I can see the connection, but leukemia? Got a link to support that?

I'm not a parent and so I am unaware of the sugar effect. I am however acutely aware of the fact that lunar new year is 15 days long. During which time, we would go to relatives houses and wish them a happy new year. The usual treats were all sugar laden. Based on your theory, every lunar new year, kids would be rioting if not worse. Obviously, after the new year ended, there would be leftovers of all kinds of sugar treats. Even if they all disappeared right after the 15 days, had it been the sugar, it would have resulted in massive rioting. Perhaps it is a weak excuse like "The devil made me do it" thing? Maybe the weak parents simply heard that sugar makes the kids act out and want to see it. Much like the placebo effect. So now, we have an excuse for the kids bad behavior that isn't liked to their failure as parents. "It's not my fault the kid did something stupid. It's the devil, I mean sugar that made him do it. I was a good parent but hey, who can help it when the kid acts up under the influence.".

Real question is whether cancer rates among children have risen dramatically since 1985 or 1990, when HFCS became popular. |

I don't think filling kids full of sugar and caffeine needs to be responsible for leukemia for it to be a problem for their health. Healthy teeth are strongly linked to lifelong health. Obesity at a young age can have deleterious effects (well duh).

If you can find the courage, the discipline - whatever - to abstain from all sugar and caffeine for a few months - and then go back into those things full hog, you might begin to have an inkling of the powerful behavior modification qualities of those substances. I don't think I'm going to be successful in some campaign to rid the world of such things, or to force McDs to sell herb tea and put 10% of the current rate of sugar into their sweet offerings. Nonetheless, I am free to observe that they are whores of the first order for plying children with the equivalent of cocaine for fun and profit. F*** the peabrains, they will have their reward.

My thoughts on this seem to be different than yours. The fact that the kids get amped up on sugar, to me means that you don't let them have it in excess. A light dessert after a healthy meal is IT. A parent that doesn't have the word NO in their vocabulary and doesn't use it OFTEN, is not being a responsible parent. It seems that too many parents forget who the adult is. |
