Don’t give nutrient-lacking candy this Halloween

“Adults, please don’t fall into the candy-giving trap this Halloween when those adorable, costumed-clad kids ring your doorbell. Halloween does not have to be a mandatory give-out-sugar today! You see, handing out candies — or what I call blood-sugar bouncing ‘treats’ — is a ‘tricky’ proposition. All that sugar could turn your neighbor’s kids into ‘Sugar Brats’ by sending them into SUGAR SHOCK! — which means you could contribute to their getting all kinds of health and emotional problems. You certainly don’t want to help turn those adorable, beloved, innocent children into cranky, depressed, concentration-challenged, wired, fat or maybe even fight-picking ‘Little Halloween Sugar Grinches,’ right?” (10/30/06)

Steve,
Thanks for posting this on your site. This ISIL.org site is fascinating — saw lots of stories there I haven’t seen elsewhere.
By the way, you can post stuff from my www.SugarShockBlog.com in the future. Of course, I know you’ll credit me.
All the best to you,
Connie Bennett

Your latest piece is in for tomorrow’s MFC … I saw your comment and checked out the blog …
Thanks for the kind words about the Channel; I consider it kind of a mission at this point, just as you probably do with your book and that pathway. (BTW, your e-mail is bouncing; tried to send this directly but failed.
