Which is worse to give a kid: high fructose corn syrup or splenda?

I'll keep my nutritionist thank you very much. and that whole thing about HFCS and mercury is complete crap. its just another thing that they say to scare people adn to make people paranoid.
And the obesity link....basically eatign too much of ANYTHING can make you gain weight so i find it to be a moot point. Somehow, i still drink my soda a day with HFCS, eat ketchup almost everyday with HFCS, plus many other things and yet i was still able to loose the 60lbs i gained from prednisone treatment. I think this whole HFCS thing is just another way to scare people IMHO.

Well you are certainly entitled to your opinion but I will stick to scientists for the facts.

i found this website about artificial sweeteners. its probably worth a look.

i would always go with just normal sugar. it seems to be safer than ingesting all these chemicals.

A website trying to sell an "aspartame detox program" is not a great source for unbiased information.

oh i didn't notice that bit
but if you are going to use chemicals in your food, it probably is worth doing a bit of research.
