My parents were crazy (and great!). During her pregnancies, my mother ate no processed foods, refined sugar, etc. She cooked everything. This was back in the 70s when there were still meat markets and that sort of thing around. I suppose the worst thing she ingested was city water. I was breastfed or bottle-fed with breastmilk (if my mother couldn't be around). I didn't have sucrose until I was about 5 and had my first "real" birthday cake.
I think that totally makes sense -- I've always wondered why people give little kids who don't know the difference stuff like cake and other sweets. WTF?
