With Halloween right around the corner, it is a good time to begin preparing to set forth guidelines for the enormous availability and temptation of candy and other junk foods. A friend posted the first sign of a Halloween candy display well over a month ago and the industry is in full force as usual with marketing campaigns aimed at customers who will hand out the sugary treats on or around October 31st. While there has not been a definitive link to hyperactivity with artificial orange coloring, it is safe to say that the massive amount of refined sugar causes quite an imbalance in our bodies around this holiday. If only pumpkins were more appetizing, since they contain a good dose of beta-carotene and are found on a great many porches this month!
