Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and Dextrose… oh my!

According to estimates by the U.S Census Bureau, the average American consumes almost 26 pounds of candy each year, a large percentage of it around Halloween. The results? Weight gain, an epidemic of early onset diabetes, mood swings, tooth decay… the list goes on. With increasing health-consciousness in America, many families are reconsidering what to put in trick-o-treaters buckets and bags as they make their annual visit to the front door.
