How can your sweetie be a sugar-monster?
Ask yourself these questions:
- Will they only drink milk if it is chocolate?
- Do they scream or throw a tantrum when you say “no” to sweets or soda?
- They will only eat sweet things for breakfast like sugar-coated cereal, Pop Tarts, or waffles smothered in syrup?
- Getting to dessert is the only reason they eat their dinner?
- You often let them have a sweet if it will avoid their screaming and crying?
Sugar is everywhere in the modern American child’s diet -including mainstays such as yogurt, juice, chocolate milk, cereals, soda, energy drinks, and fast-food burgers and nuggets, let alone candy and cookies. If you don’t get your kid off of sugar now, they’ll have a lifetime of health problems.
