===Lead acetate: An implementation of Sweet on Windows===
''(often called '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_of_lead sugar of lead]''', lead acetate tastes better than sugar but isn't good for children)''
Description: "Lead acetate" is the proposed implementation
of Sweet on Windows XP. Lead acetate may provide better performance
than Glucose, but it is obsolete and
[http://www.healthychildrenproject.org/pdf/PPLEAD.pdf toxic to young brains].
It causes learning disability, behavioral tendencies
toward violence, and even brain damage.
:I know this is tongue-in-cheek, but how about [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspartame_controversy aspartame] - once thought better than sugar, but possibly connected with brain tumors... --[[User:Morgs|Morgs]] 11:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
===Honey, activities developed by 'in the wild' vendors===
''a sweet fluid made by bees, mostly Fructose''
Description: Activities that are packaged by outside developers, sometimes ports of activities to Sugar from other OS. It might enhance Sugar and the Sweet experience, but "honey frequently contains dormant endospores of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which can be dangerous to infants" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey Wikipedia].
~ For example, Skype, printer capability, IM software
: as a former beekeeper I can tell you that not all honey is organic, though we all wish it were so (antibiotics taint a lot of it, especially in developing countries) [[User:Yamaplos|Yamaplos]] 15:04, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
