To Healthy Parents?!?

[Familycare71]

I actually heard that some parents who are anti-meds and have children with ADHD use dye-free diets (along with other restrictions such as wheat and gluten) actually do have high success rates.

Though, if someone is not used to sugary foods/drinks they can develop a low sugar tolerance or even sugar sensitivity. I like occasional sweets like chocolate chip cookies, but I am not too much of a fan on overly sugary sweets. I haven't drank dark soda since I was 8 years old (my own personal choice) but I will occasionally have orange soda if there is nothing else to drink (never dark sodas). I get super jittery and even feel sick if I drink orange soda, Lipton canned or bottled ice tea (they have lots of added sugar), or sweet tea. I hate when I go to McDonalds and ask for regular iced tea and they give me sweet tea (it's really nasty).

Yes- there is a lot of success removing dyes from children's diets- I know some kids that you know when they have red or yellow dye!! Hyper!!
I get jittery if I have too much butter cream frosting- it just doesn't make you hyper or ill behaved . And I LOVE McDonald's non-sweet tea! But that will keep me up! Lol

Moderation is always good. I remember asking one lady and she said she gave her children organic candy. So i asked what was it and she said dried fruit. Uhm not so much candy in my eyes. But i would hate to see what would happen if one of kids went to a birthday party with candy in the goodie bags.
