Excessive sugar is a serious health threat for United States children. Do you know how much sugar your Chicago son or daughter is really consuming? I am children’s nutrition advocate Richard McLain.
Here are some popular Chicago kid’s snacks with more sugar than I realized:
Yogurt covered raisins
Fruit Roll-ups, Gushers, and Fruit By The Foot
Quaker Rice Cakes
Yoplait yogurt
Gogurt
Juice drinks: Capri Sun, Minute Maid
Flavored milk
The next time you and your kids are shopping for snacks at your United States grocery store, Chicago convenience store, or Illinois ball park snack bar, read the labels. Sugar content varies among brands.
Limiting the amount of sugar in your United States child’s diet is an important step toward better lifelong eating and oral health. To hear about another great way to improve your child’s nutrition in IL, call me today!
