If the expert person thinks they shouldnt be bf because its too sweet, why do baby food companies add sweetners to things ???

yep, intention is probably a good criteria for judging.

It must be horrible to want the mum identity so badly, but only to be able to create it 'virtually'.

Feelie, when is Wales on yours and tobes visiting schedule?:D

mm I think that journalist was on mumsnet. The rest of the community were soooooo angry with her! The threads about it make quite interesting reading

elle if you're in the cleaning mood wanna do mine ..

and good question mm x

DH is a dentist and he said that more than 6 sugar surges in the saliva per day will lead to decay.

I was thinking after he reminded me of that that most BF babies have probably settled into fewer BFs a day by the point their teeth come? So maybe good 'ole nature has already provided a way for BF NOT to lead to caries?

Just a thought...

susan, I read part of your blog, so if your fake, you put a lot of effort in !! lol

I remember reading once about a journalist posting as a parent on a site to get facts etc ... for a paper she was writing !!

There was a lady who wrote whole blog with a fake pregnancy saying that she was expecting a baby with a terminal illness. If you google "baby april rose fake" it comes up with loads of stuff about it.

Weezl, would this include natural sugar too?

Weezl - just waiting for the pics to upload, latest I have is from Christmas.

I agree with your definitions. I think it this poster falls into the latter, non-troll, category I could actually feel quite sorry for her. We don't know her background but my first thought was someone who either can't have or has lost babies and is trying to live her ideal life through a website where she is accepted as a mum (obviously, I could be way out though!)

I remain a bit feeble and snotty and fevery, not too grim though. Hoping to be a bit better tomorrow for OH's birthday...

Lovely to see some people back on the forum who've been quiet for a bit and what a kindly father you have Carla, good work!

or you with a big fake moustache!!!!! :eek:

ETA I partially disagree with Weezlie's theory on internet personality constructs... to everyone apart from the poster, the poster's intent (which is anyway hidden the whole time until any unmasking) may be largely irrelevant, the relevant bit is whether other people in that net community engaged with them under false pretences, and ultimately feel betrayed and manipulated at the end, or are just shrugging and laughing. A troll who tells elaborate lies with the intention of causing upset, and a lonely person who tells elaborate lies with the intention of getting people to like him, can both really badly offend and upset those they interact with!

yep

Anything with -ose at the end. Natural milk has lactose. Sugar is sucrose. Fruit sugar is fructose. The most immediately available and therefore slightly more potent one is glocose. Bacteria eat glucose, and poo acid which eats teeth.

All sugars are coverted to glucose though, it just takes a bit of doing. If you chew bread for a while it gets sweeter, This is because your saliva is causing it to become maltose and finally glucose.

Anyone still with me?

I think if you look hard enough there will be a reason why air is bad for you. Or water. Or your skin. Or even chocolate.
