Hi there,
My lovely inlaws love to shower my kids in candy, usually with lots of color, and sugar. A big problem is that it is not filtered through me first, just excitedly handed to the kids.

DH and I notice that red dye especially triggers a hyperactive response from my DS and I am weary of sugar as it is know to lower the immune system immidiately for several hours.
I have asked them to avoid the "colorful' stuff, yet they seem to have forgotten.
My DH feels that if we just put our foot down we could cause more issues than needed, I think they are my kids and I am there mother, I have a right to ask them to stop!
So in an attempt to be civil I need good articles to show my very non-crunchy IL's that infact these products are not ok!

TIA
