Made a RADICAL difference. Better grades, better relationships in the family and with friends, remarkable results.<br /><br />If he happened to be elsewhere and any "offender" managed to get into his system, it was obvious! The child eventually understood how radically the stuff affected his behavior, and willingly avoided the stuff!<br /><br />I'm all for getting rid of as much synthetic and artificial stuff as possible in our foods. No genetically modified foodgarbage. No MSG (instant headaches for me and so many others). Raw foods. Fresh foods. Whole foods, whole grains, unrefined and unprocessed or minimally processed; organic when possible. Natural preservatives when essential. Simple. Delicious.
