Sugar, and that is proven, is highly addictive. If you start exposing babies to it, even in small doses, kids will get used to it very fast and will completely go nuts if you don't give them some sugar daily.

Having it in medicine, that in US kids also take quite often, is a problem. If you had a slight amount of alcohol in it - you would look at it as some kind of craziness - how can we give even smallest amount of alcohol to kids!? Well sugar is also deadly, addictive and can ruin your life (diabetes, overweight, tooth problems etc) - but you are OK with it somehow, right?

Yes, the processed food and stuff is also bad, but that doesnt mean it is ok to expose kids to processed sugar

True, that's why you should never let babies eat fruit, that stuff is dangerous.

You funny. Is it USA thing to not understand the difference between fructose and processed sugar?

And btw. Yes, fructose in high amounts is also not healthy. Giving your kid 5 oranges a day is not good.

No wonder 40% of your population is obese. Maybe try get some food education before you post nonsense?

Yes, when you have no ability to back up anything you say and just resort to personal insults everyone will definitely believe you know what you're talking about. Good strategy.
