“Healthy” is one of those words your children really don’t want to hear on Halloween, especially right before they go trick or treating. But if you are concerned about their teeth then there are some candies you want to be paying attention to. Julie Deardorff from the Chicago Tribune has listed the healthiest candy, if you can call candy healthy, for Halloween.
The best candy your children can eat is powdery candy such as Pixy Stix and Sweet Tarts. It goes downhill in this order: Plain chocolate (including M&M’s), chocolate bars (Snickers, Twix), chewy candy (jelly beans) and hard candies (lollipops, Jolly Rancher). A dentist’s comment on hard candy: “The candies that take the longest to dissolve are the most harmful because they keep the sugar in your mouth for the longest time.”

Oh, and if you are convincing your children that Halloween candy is really, really bad for your teeth, there is a dentist who is buying back candy from children and is willing to pay $1 per pound. I am not so sure if this one will fly with so many children (and parents who may have paid $3 per pound) … ummm … on second thought, is there anyone who wants to sell her/his Halloween candy to me?
