Moms Talk: How Much Sugar Should Kids Get?

Parents, join the online conversation.

Do you believe sugar gives kids a sugar high? Or do you insist that's a myth?

Some parents limit how much soda, candy and ice cream their children eat, while others shrug, knowing they'll get sugar at school, at friends' houses, and in unlikely places--like salad dressing.

What's your take? Do you refuse to buy candy bars?  Try to dole out sweets in moderation? Or simply give up?
