<div>Is there any proof that sugar is used everyday by nearly 3 million children at stated on the website? My research from 2 countries which have purchased over 100,000 laptops has indicated that due to non-deliver, breakage, and disuse, the term 'used daily by 3 million children' is overstating use by an order of magnitude.<br><br>Optimism can be valuable.
