Sugar is bad for your child. 

And Yes!! 

Almost all your child’s favorite foods ae loaded with sugar 

You may think things like 

Tomato sauce
Bread
Juice
Fruit yogurt 

Are healthy. 

But they are not 

They are all full of sugar 

Many times foods have sugar but it is called by a different name to confuse you and make you believe that the food has no sugar and is therefore good for your child. 

Save the list below on your phone and if you see any of the names below on the label of a food that you are buying for your child - DO NOT BUY IT. 

Share this so that others who may buy your child foods that they love realize that If they REALLY want to show their love - they must not give your child any food that has sugar or any of the things in the list below.
