Princeton University just released the results of a study finding that high fructose corn syrup is as bad as we suspected.

Oh- and apparently I bought the Play-Doh more for myself than my son who immidiately grabbed a peice of blue, rolled it in his hands, proudly exclaimed, “BALL!” and threw it across the room. Turns out I could have saved my money since we already have lots of balls in this house!
