Sugar question/Robin

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the website Robin. I'll give it a try. I have had some luck baking

with stevia but I have found that it loses a bit of it's sweetness when baked.

For the most part, Sugar is sugar. You can use stevia for sweetening,

but it is not particulary good for baking. Look for substitutes like applesauce

for baking. The feingold website offers good guidelines for feeding kids

affected by food: www.feingold.org (it is not veg, though).

our 1 year old granddaughter and 3 year old grandson. I know for a fact, that

sugar affects the 3 year old badly. He gets so hyped up that he loses control of

what is acceptable and not acceptable...real basic stuff since he's only 3.

Since the kids will be here " sans Mommy and Daddy " , I just figured they would be

vegans for that week or two. My question is about sugar. Do any of you find that

natural sugar affects a child less negatively that the refined stuff? I am going

to make some dried fruit " candies " since he LOVES candy and gets it at home. I

know that sugar is sugar but I guess that I'm just hoping the natural stuff will

be less harmful than the refined. I'll end up making cupcakes and healthier

cookies using stevia. Any other ideas? BTW I don't know about the 1 year old yet

but the three year old is a natural vegetarian. It's a struggle for his mom to

get him to eat meat...so

that's a good thing in a vegetarian house like

ours.

Thanks!
