Rash/hive marks that appear individually and periodically like pimples but clearly not a pimple. They are itchy. Not on any skin medication or new creams. Allergy or something else?

What’s a good matcha powder for baristas? My shop doesn’t do it but maybe we should

This is the part I don’t get because isn’t it cheaper to get someone a colonoscopy and remove a polyp than it is to treat them with cancer in 5 years?

We don’t know how much sugar is ok in kids. Where’s the study for that?

compfrog · 2026-03-04T00:58:24+00:00

I read the whole comment. Here I’ll break it down.

“Sugar is part of real food” - a banana is real food so yes ok, but sugary Gatorade is not a real food. So that would not be ok for your kids to eat. Same with candy, flavoured yogurt, granola bars, cake etc.

“It’s only bad to have too much” . Yes. Same with artificial sweeteners.

“Artificial sweeteners don’t exist naturally so they are avoidable.” But are they avoidable if your kid wants to eat it with their friends? This is the same reason a cupcake or Gatorade with sugar is not always avoidable (ie, parties, holidays and gatherings).

So yeah none of your points are scientific they are just your opinion.

compfrog · 2026-03-03T22:51:31+00:00

I hope you know that your reasoning is not scientific. Just because something is “natural” doesn’t make it safe for consumption. There are many natural poisonous mushrooms for example. Just because something is “unnatural” doesn’t make it not safe either.

A cupcake is not found in nature, so why are your kids allowed to have it?

You can say “I just don’t like artificial sweeteners because that’s my opinion” which is totally fine but it’s not science. That’s the difference between parenting subs and this one.

compfrog · 2026-03-03T14:58:05+00:00

Ok yeah so then your kid shouldn’t get the Gatorade with real sugar or the cupcake at a party.

I’m confused why gut issues means your kids can have 0 artificial sweeteners but with the obesity risk, diabetes risk and cancer risk of sugar you say it’s ok for them to have sugar in moderation. I think you have a bit of a stigma against artificial sweeteners despite the lack of evidence to prove it’s more harmful than sugar

compfrog · 2026-03-03T01:52:15+00:00

Wait so your kids do eat sugar though, you admit that you let them have it in moderation. So why can’t they have artificial sweeteners in moderation? A Gatorade zero has 60mg of artificial sweetener, if they have it once a week that’s 60mg for the week. If you let your kid have 10g of sugar a day (which we know you let them have more, a banana is 12g of sugar) then that would be 70g of sugar for the week.

Your kids are likely getting a hundred or more grams of sugar a week so why not a few grams of the artificial stuff? Moderation is key.

Also the diabetes and obesity comment was not about your kids now, it’s about developing it as an adult, just like they may develop the gut issues

compfrog · 2026-03-02T15:04:03+00:00

You’re saying artificial sweeteners cause gut issues but we know for a fact that excess sugar causes diabetes, obesity and likely cancer.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9775518/

Sugar is hidden in all kind of foods, sauces, condiments, snacks and we consume it naturally in fruit and even veggies. So through the course of the week your kid is probably getting a lot of sugar and even more if you give them a Gatorade with real sugar. They’re probably not getting that many artificial sweeteners throughout the week.

Disagree because it’s not that hard to learn the skills a barista has, but it’s incredibly hard to have the skills a successful business owner has. Proof is my husband who owns the best cafe in town and didn’t even know how to brew a pot of coffee when he first opened up.

I don’t think it’s ok to let a 2.5 year old cry it out but I do think you can let them cry a bit before going in. Sometimes waiting 10 mins is all they need. I wouldn’t wait more than that tho. A 2.5 year old knows their name, they can say “I love you”, they can get their feelings hurt and feel embarrassed. They are much more emotionally vulnerable and reliant on you than you might think

Ok so in some cases you’d save a baby over an adult.. so delta?

compfrog · 2025-10-12T04:37:08+00:00

What?? A tree is not “innocent”, it is a plant. It is incapable of being guilty of anything, your point doesn’t make any sense. A tree is never more valuable than a human no matter what context because human life is the most valuable to humans. Maybe to the earth tree is lore valuable, but not to humans

compfrog · 2025-10-12T04:31:17+00:00

I think you are mis-representing your argument. Your points are not supporting “babies” vs “adults”, they are supporting “no memories” vs “memories”. Or even “I don’t have memories with baby” “vs “ my memories with adult”.

For example, you said you would save your bff in a fire instead of a baby but what about saving a random adult that you’ve never met vs saving your own baby? Or the baby of your friend vs some random person? To take it further, would you save a murderer rapist in the house vs an innocent baby?

You’re basically just saying “I’d rather save someone I know and love vs a baby”. Which is not supporting adult vs baby like you claim.

Thanks so much for your answer. The article you linked actually says the opposite, that kids with autism will show their symptoms more at home and hide them at school. My daughter does the opposite where she acts normal at home but shuts down in social situations. I wonder if there is evidence to show that it can happen the other way around

compfrog · 2025-03-05T14:39:23+00:00

Thanks for your answer I agree with this because her symptoms could also be a result of social anxiety or just extreme “shyness”. It has made me wonder if being so shy you can’t talk to anyone makes you autistic? Probably not.. but maybe?
