Robert A. Lynch, Daniel T. Boatright and Samuel K. Moss, eds. Lead-Contaminated Imported Tamarind Candy and Children’s Blood Lead Levels. Vol.115(Nov –Dec 2000). p. 537-543<http://www.jstor.org/pss/4598589?searchUrl=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3D.%2BLeadContaminated%2BImported%2BTamarind%2BCandy%2Band%2BChildren%25E2%2580%2599s%2BBlood%2BLead%2BLevels%26acc%3Doff%26wc%3Don&Search=yes>.
In 1999, a study was done about “tamarind candy” which was a possible source of lead exposure to a child that showed considerably a high blood lead level. This caught the attention of the Oklahoma City-County Health Department they tested about two types of “tamarind suckers” candy  they also tested the packaging for any type of lead content. According to the article “more than 50% of the tested suckers exceeded the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Level of Concern for lead in this type of product”. people from all over the country found out about this and began to keep an eye out for these poisons Lead- Contaminated cadies.
This article has helped me because I found out that Lead poisonings could be found in a package of candy. This article will help me make a stronger argument for my final paper. Moreover, it has giving me a better understanding of the precaution that we must have in order to protect ourselves.
“How Sugar Affects the Body in Motion.” Editorial. New York Times 20 Nov. 2007, late ed: A22. Gretchen  Reynolds Web.4 may 2011. < http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/04/how-sugar-affects-the-body-in-motion/?scp=1&sq=effects%20of%20candy%20&st=cse>.
A group of trained cyclist was chosen to participate in an experiment that would conclude the role of various sugars in exercises. The experiment required that the cyclist would ride till they were exhausted on many different occasions. Once they were done with each race they were given a sweetened drink the contained fructose or glucose some of the racers were drinking sweetened milk. After they drank the sweetened drink doctors tested them to see what kinds of effects if any these sweetened drinks made on them.
This article is going to help me determine the good side that sugar has on the human body. Also, it will provide a better research for me to make my final paper much stronger.

This book is about the history of candy and how it came to be. According to Zaleski “the first-ever would history of sweets” was jam packed with quirky. The history of candy came because people began to experiment with "sugars and different types of formulas.

I found out the history of the candy and this book will help out with my research paper.

This is about a male finch that uses candy to attract the female finches. As people were making coffee in a town they that the finches kept coming over to see what the locals were up to little did the people know that the finch was looking to see where they kept the sweets. Once the male finches found out where the sweets were he took some in order to attract the female finches.
