When I was a kid (way back in the 1980s) my parents rarely let us eat candy or drink sugary sodas. Unless we snuck off to the local gas station with our allowance money, Halloween was the only time my brothers and I got our hands on the sweet stuff. We'd come home from several hours of trick or treating with pillow cases stuffed with sugary treats, dump them out on the kitchen table, and inspect them with our parents since in those days the MSM's big scare was "razor blades" hidden inside of candy bars. Little did our loving and protective parents know that the brightly colored, artificially flavored, high fructose candies themselves were downright toxic. Sadly, with the gradual introduction of carcinogenic genetically modified ingredients, the widespread use of aspartame, and the use of toxic colorants manufactured overseas, the children of today are being subjected an unprecendented assault of deady chemicals every time they hit the sweets. Ample proof follows in the links. Thanks for reading this and please share!

Approximately 90% of the corn, sugar beets, cotton, and soybeans grown in the US is currently GENETICALLY MODIFIED. Distilling GMO crops into products like High Fructose Corn Syrup concentrates the nasty stuff while eliminating virtually all potential positive health impacts.
This Is Your Brain On Sugar: UCLA Study Show High Fructose Diet Sabotages Learning, Memory
UCLA NEWSROOM http://goo.gl/WrzW6
"Attention, college students cramming between midterms and finals: Binging on soda and sweets for as little as six weeks may make you stupid. A new UCLA rat study is the first to show how a diet steadily high in fructose slows the brain, hampering memory and learning — and how omega-3 fatty acids can counteract the disruption. The peer-reviewed Journal of Physiology publishes the findings in its May 15 edition."

"Halloween candy is packed with artificial food colorings that were never properly tested on humans before they were allowed into the market. Each of these food colorings are allowed to have certain amounts of heavy metals. Forget about toys and candy from China tainted with lead, the candy here at home is toxic enough to keep the birth defects and childhood diseases coming – for generations."
Monsanto's Halloween: GMO Tricks and Treats
FoodFreedomGroup http://goo.gl/5jAJc
"As a mother, I have wondered for a long time about the hyped scares around Halloween treats – razors in apples, for example. They seemed just the finest means to get parents to buy industrial candy and avoid all the nice homemade things the neighbors made for kids – popcorn balls, fudge, cookies, etc. Halloween used to be a yearly expression of love from neighbors, and a time of great delight in all the cute neighborhood kids.
Media kicked the tar out of that. They created fear of neighbors and fear of homemade food and handed Halloween over to the processed food companies. Entirely unreasonable fear of our own neighbors has made the companies a fortune. Perhaps reasonable fear will change that now. Because almost all of the candy sold for Halloween is made from either high-fructose Monsanto’s GMO corn syrup or Monsanto’s GMO sugar, and Monsanto’s GMOs are not something any child should be eating."
Purdue University Professor Emeritus of Plant Pathology Says Flawed Science of GMOS Jeopardizing Future Generations:
Organic/Non-GMO Report http://goo.gl/jTw4T
"Last year, Huber caused a stir when he wrote a letter to US Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack warning him about a “pathogen new to science” that has been linked to glyphosate and Roundup Ready crops. Huber said the pathogen, which he describes as a microfungus, is linked to illness and reproductive problems in animals and poses threats to human health.
Since writing the letter, Huber has received many letters and emails from veterinarians reporting problems with animals fed GM feed. A veterinarian in Michigan wrote him about a sow (hog) herd that has had an increasing number of deaths and reproductive problems. The cause is unknown, and the vet wonders if it is the pathogen Huber identified. Similar reproductive problems have been reported in cows. Last November Hoard’s Dairyman reported that cows are losing up to 20% of pregnancies."Monsanto's Roundup Worse Than DDT: When You Eat This It Ends Up Lingering In Your Gut

"The situation is equally disturbing with respects to the genetic engineering of the crop itself. Many experts have admitted that we really do not yet understand genetics enough to dabble in this way and release it into the wild. Because what we do know is that when you insert a foreign gene, you alter not just one feature—you're altering multiple things, and you can end up with some highly unpredictable and unforeseeable results."
Russia Halts Imports of GMO Corn Over Cancer Fears

Scientists That Discovered GMO Health Hazards Immediately Fired, Team Dismantled

"Though it barely received any media attention at the time, a renowned British biochemist who back in 1998 exposed the shocking truth about how genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) cause organ damage, reproductive failure, digestive dysfunction, impaired immunity, and cancer, among many other conditions, was immediately fired from his job, and the team of researchers who assisted him dismissed from their post within 24 hours from the time when the findings went public."
FDA Studies Show Aspartame Link to Brain Tumors
Organic Consumers Association http://goo.gl/y18Wf
Since its 1981 approval, the FDA has published a list of 92 symptoms of aspartame poisoning, which includes headaches, vision loss including blindness, seizures, neurological problems, cardiovascular problems and death. The FDA admits adverse reactions to aspartame comprise about 80 percent of consumer complaints it receives each year. Martini has been networking victims, scientists, and physicians under an umbrella of scientific data and published medical literature that has been growing since Mission Possible formed in 1992.

"If you strive to feed your family an additive-free and nourishing diet, the scariest part about Halloween in your family may be the flood of processed candy that's about to come streaming your child's way. Monsters such as high fructose corn syrup, artificial colors and genetically modified organisms are lurking in most conventional "trick-or-treat" goodies; and these ingredients have been linked to a variety of health conditions in children from behavior problems and allergies, to obesity and Type 2 diabetes. While the kids may enjoy these treats and look forward to Halloween because of them, it is entirely possible to create a fun-filled holiday without the worry of damaging your children's health by substituting with the tricks and treats provided here."
