I agree. When my son has something with High Fructose Corn Syrup in it, he goes bananas.

I am much more concerned with the High Fructose Corn Syrup than sugar and I avoid white sugar as much as possible.
When my oldest was born, the hospital gave him a bottle of sweetened water to tide him over until the scheduled mommy feeding time. He went bananas kicking and screaming and waving his little arms around until he worn himself out and fell asleep. The doctor started running tests to see what the problem was but nothing could be found. Since I breast fed him for the first few months with plain water in between feedings, the problem seemed to disappear but as soon as I put him on a bottle/baby food he got hyper again. Doctor told me that blond/blue eyed boys were particularly sensitive to both sugar (in all it's forms) and food additives but that they usually grew out of it. Luckily, he grew out of it by the time he started school. Nice end result is that to this day, he rarely eats sweets since his 'treats' when he was young were home dried fruits.
