The aisles are filled with costumes. Kids are getting excited about Trick-or-Treating and the bucketfuls of candy they’ll be hauling home. We all know that sugar is bad for teeth and warn parents and children alike against the dangers of tooth decay. But around this time of year, we might as well throw up our hands and give in. After all, if we can’t beat them, join them! Right? YES! If you haven’t been a part of the Halloween Candy Buy Back, it’s a great cause worth checking out. The Halloween Candy Buy Back enlists dentists across the United States to “buy back” all that extra Halloween candy that kids don’t need and parents don’t want. Dentists hold events to collect the candy in the days following Halloween and then donate it to Operatio... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4098219 Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:20:57 +0100 4098219 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3998932&cid=t_205727_87_f&fid=34872&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Ffeel%2Fdressing-up-for-halloween-cool-or-lame-take-our-poll%2F photo: Thinkstock Witch, ghost, French maid, vampire, paroled NFL player. Or, Halloween costumes for the somewhat less creatively challenged: A nostalgic board game from childhood; partly cloudy with a chance of showers (glue cotton balls to your shirt and carry around a spray bottle of water); or dress up as yourself 20 years ago. But, as adults, should we really get in on all this autumnal trickery, or just hand the whole damn holiday over to a bunch of ungrateful kids who wail about not getting enough candy and then complain of stomachaches later on anyway? To be in costume or not to be costume, that is the question (on October 31st). So what’s your answer? This Halloween, it’s either time for us to grow up – or dress up as a Shakespeare character.

At my house it’s Nestlé-Free Week for 52 weeks out of the year, but those who do not already boycott Nestlé might try to do so for just this one week and for their Halloween candy purchases in particular. This year for Halloween I chose to buy Smarties, those little pieces of pure processed sugar and food coloring. The poor Smarties company has to put on the homepage of its website: “Do not confuse our Smarties with Nestlé chocolate Smarties”! I wanted something without corn syrup and something not made by Nestlé, and Smarties were the best I could do in the two seconds I was willing to spend in the candy aisle with three children! The week before I had been shopping for popsicles and could...

For them, Halloween season can be a dangerous time. The hard, chewy, sticky or crunchy candy usually handed out can easily result in damaged or broken braces, a painful and costly experience. So what’s a brace wearing trick or treater to do? Well, according to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO), people with braces should steer clear of these traditional halloween treats…   * All hard candies   * All chewy candies   * Caramel   * Nuts   * Licorice   * Taffy   * Jelly beans   * Hard pretzels   * Bubblegum   * Popcorn (including unpopped kernels)   * Taco chips   * Ice Instead they should aim for braces-friendly Halloween treats such as soft chocolate candy, peanut ...

Apparently, the tasty treats contain acid levels that rival the pH of battery acid. In the article, parents are warned that “sour” equals “acid.” Furthermore, consumers should particularly stay away from citric, lactic, malic, tartaric, fumaric, adipic, and ascorbic acids when purchasing sweets for Halloween. All you need to do is read the labels to determine what’s in any packaged food product. As a dentist, you know that the colas, energy drinks, and sour candy kids consume in mass quantities have made enamel erosion a major dental problem for this generation of kiddos.

What do you think about it?As usual, Crabby has many opinions and also, as is customary, her opinions are totally inconsistent and contradictory!(And by the way, Katie at Sister Skinny had some very helpful ideas to keep you from pilfering and eating all the candy collected by your adorable costumed children, should you have any).So. We eat a ridiculous amount of sugar in this country. And holidays, whether Halloween or Christmas or Valentines Day or Easter (or probably even Memorial day by now, who knows) have become just another excuse for an Assault of Candy Marketing. As a society, we're getting fat. We don't need another damned excuse to stuff our faces full of sugar.On the other hand...Crabby also came across a reminder about what's cool about Halloween.
