JenniferEmilson 8yr Heard this today as well. And toddlers should have NONE. Should be interesting, even with tv advertising etc. -
LezEngel 8yr Wow, this is big. The new nutrition labels, which will separate added sugars from naturally occurring, will help flag those extra sugary products--if people read them! -
