That actually has been my experience.. that it generally isn't sugar that
makes kids hyper.. Most kids I've seen with the problem seem to be needing
some more attention from their parents..

Well, I knew one kid long ago who's parents were convinced it was the sugar
turning their darling into a monster.. could be I guess.. with all the
allergies and food sensitivities in our family, we're lucky to have escaped
that one ... except for those foods sweetened with High Fructrose

Talking to my mom recently, she told me that one of the classic signs of

old houses where the the ancient paint is peeling, etc..

Take care,
