4.5 DAYS without Logic or Emotional Control

I tell my child that the candy isn't for them and they say "Ok." and walk away.
Edit: I get more fuss out of my wife for telling her no than I do out of my daughter.

Tell me that's typical child behavior. LOL

As you said Hydro, most people simply have no frame of reference, we all grew up on this shit.
In my experience:
Simply eating or drinking refined sugar after a few weeks of abstinence had me tripping, hard. After eating a small bag of candy or drinking a glass of coke: whole body got hot, mega energized, big grin on my face all the time, feeling really good and hyper. Then 30-60 minutes later, the crash. Felt cold, weak, miserable, my hands shaking visibly... All this from one glass of Coke. The whole experience was imho comparable to some experiences with speed and extasy i had, intensity-wise.
I wouldn't belive it myself if i hadn't experienced it, after all, i consumed refined sugar since i was a toddler, and i never noticed this effects, due to being used to it.

Supermanlives: I lived in vegas for a few years. It's not 'all that'.

Tloft13: Interesting, isn't it? I grew up on that junk too. I won't eat any of it now, amazing what it does to your tastebuds, digestive system and brain. All of em are different, in one way or another.
You have to stop taking them as an adult.... to really get an appreciation of how nasty they are.

When you have research heads stating plainly that they're creating chemical food additives to be more addictive than heroin.... you really have to wonder.

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

My kids are restricted from eating 'junk' just like Hydro-Soil's kids are I'm backing him up 100% on these claims. Since their diet is like this, when they DO consume anything with all kinds of HFCS, perservatives, flavorings, etc, it's plain as day to witness the reaction. It's obvious and nothing that can be argued with. My little 6 year old can drink half my cup of coffee (sneaky little bugger hehe), not get hyper or stimulated in any way that is apparent, but if he were to drink ONE regular Capri-Sun juice pouch (stupid soccer moms) he'll be BOUNCING off the walls like a fucking balloon, acting like he's autistic or something. When you really know your kids and you observe them closely, this truth about what is being done to us through our 'food' is hard to ignore...

sorry for my ignorance but Hydro and Sour what do you generally feed your kids. Im curious because just about everything in a grocery store has preservatives and additives. I would like to be educated on "safe" healthy and natural foods for myself and my children when I have them. do you guys grow all your own fruits and vegetables at home? what do you do as far as meats? and lastly, when they do need a "snack" in the middle of the day. what are some healthy snacks?

See, my kids have grown up eating almost entirely "natural " foods at home- we buy almost all organic, never any artificial colors or flavors or HFCS.

Yet if we go out to a restaurant or someone else's house and they drink a Dr. Pepper or eat a cupcake or something, you know what happens?
Nothing...

Yo Hydro, Major respect for the proper diet with your kid.

I usually refrain from parenting comments. Your experience with your one child is a very narrow frame of reference. As your daughter grows she will be come more independant and form into her self.

Seem a little controlling and superiour in your thoughts of others.....try not to stifle that perfect little thing in your desire to perfect her.

Make too big a deal of what she eats vs what others eat at this age seems to be a Rx for future eating disorders.

No disrespect, just my 2c.

Seen a number of families where you can just see the parents overstressing the kids by taking them down narrow lifestyle paths.

Eating is one of the most social aspect of our lives. You can keep it clean and healthy, but it's gotta be fun and enjoyable

Most of all a big Thank You and AttaBoy for being such a good father to love and care so much for your family.

Respect,

Same thing with my granddaughter UNLESS she's given anything with gluten in it, then she clogs up and doesn't have a normal BM for weeks.

There is some fascinating research on how the 'new' varieties of wheat have proteins*** that are able to cross the blood-brain barrier. I'm still a bit incredulous about the suggestions being made with regard to schizophrenia and gluten-intolerance, but it's an area of study that requires closer examination.

Hydro, why won't you tell us what kind of candy bar? It could very well have other things in it that could have caused a change in behavior besides sugar. It's too easy to simply blame sugar, IMO, especially once one understands the relation to blood sugar levels, etc. Then there's also the fact that she's 2yo. All kids go through stages that are more or less difficult. My g-daughter is 4.5yo, and talk about precocious, oh my goodness.

***Edit: May have misstated, could be another compound (sugar/sugars?), going off recollection of discussion while in a slightly distracted state, so may be sugars, may be aminos, can't recall exactly what compound(s) were being discussed. Apologies!

Wild swings in mood or cognition after eating anything are signs of issues with blood sugar. Anyone having symptoms like those described should have their blood work done ASAP.
The brain is the biggest consumer of energy in our body and that energy comes from sugar in our bloodstream, so large swings can cause immediate issues with the brain. Insulin is our body's way of keeping blood sugar constant, helping eliminate the peaks and valleys and stabilizing the effects on the brain.

But symptoms that persist 4.5 days after a candy bar?
Any spike would be long gone in just a hour or two...

once we were also without logic for a few days, but then we said, fuck it, we are going back to pro-tools, hell yeah. but then, our emotional control on that 505 synth started malfunctioning, so we unplugged that shit and went about our business by replacing it with something way more stable, but more expensive too. can't always win man, I tell you that.

"it's all in your head" Get out of here. :peacock:

The only thing I can add is the peanuts have a sort of anti-nutrient in them dealing with zinc.

All I know is that when the study said sugar doesn't cause stuff and additives don't...but then after the "rumour" of additives causing these symptoms, they investigate and find out they're true. "This chemical has no known side-effects in these amounts, but we'll tell you in a few years it causes cancer."

p.s. I don't 'claim' anything. I state the facts as they occur to me. Since I don't believe in "man's interpretation' of anything, take what I say however you like. Keep in mind that I don't lie, don't embellish and don't generally insist on subjects I don't know much about.
