IS SUGAR GOOD FOR MY BABY?
<p>Lets get this straight. Sugar is just a simple carbohydrate. </p><p></p><p>It's very easily digested in the body and converted into energy. It’s a basic process and nothing dangerous is happening in your little one's body when they eat sugar(carbohydrates)</p><p></p><p>BUT eating too much sugar can put children at increased risk of sugar addiction(become picky eaters) or risk of excercive weight gain which in turn can increase the risk of diabetes & heart disease as children or later on in life.</p><p></p><p>Sugar is also the main cause of tooth decay which is STILL as much of a crucial child health problem as it was many years ago.</p><p></p><p>We don’t need to worry about the natural sugar that is found packaged up in foods like fruit(fructose) and milk(lactose) as this type of sugar is locked inside the foods structure and so it's are not 'free' to cause tooth decay. they are also digested gradually such that too much sugar isn't suddenly released into the bloodstre</p><p><br/></p><p>Natural sugar sources with are packed up within foods like mashed fruits (e.g banana, dates puree, etc) are adviced</p><p></p><p>Those 'free sugars' which do cause tooth dental health problems include natural sugars like white (or brown) sugar, honey, dates syrup, agave, maple syrup, coconut sugar and even fruit juices.</p><p><br/></p><p>As well as the obvious sources of artificial sugars like in biscuits, cakes, sweets and chocolate you'll even find these in foods like ketchup, creamers, etc</p><p><br/></p><p>The other thing to know about sugar is that children have a preference for sweet foods and will want these more than other foods. And so they will always ask for them. Eating sweet foods often can encourage their 'sweet tooth!' Or 'picky eating'</p><p></p><p>Do you want my advice?</p><p><br/></p><p>Avoid sugary foods as much as possible in children under 1 and keep it to a minimum in children under 6 years of age.</p>
