 Well I don't know if she has proof or not I do know that she had been
 studying this type of stuff and this is the conclusion she has.  I will
 talk to her again and ask out of curiosity.  I know that my kids go
 bolistic on pop with caffeine, but calm down on tea and coffee.  Sara
 is the only one that is not ADHD and she is allergic to chocolate.  She
 can eat it, but not doubled like double chocolate cake or candy bars or
 things like that.  She can have small quanities, but anything pure
 chocolate sends her stomach into a whirl and gets extremely sick.  I
 don't buy pop that often so its been a while since they had it.  Actually
 it doesn't bother the boys too much if they are eating like at McDonalds
 or something.  Today they did have some lemon-lime pop and Jeremy is
 flying around the house.  He just can't sit still.  Now I know its not
 sugar as they can eat that and not get too bad.  I'm really getting curious
 on this carbonation thing now.  Talk at ya later.  Her husband is on our
 BBS so I think I will ask some more questions.
