Children should eat less than 25 grams of added sugars daily | American Heart Association

annefood 8yr Interesting kids and women are the same. -
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! -
munchiemummy 8yr I love that this is finally being said in the states. I hope that food packaging changes so that parents are more aware of what they're giving their children! -
lindseyshifley 8yr It's about time! My children's school food provider has big challenges with the added sugar and they want to change! The problem is school meals have calorie requirements which only a certain percentage can come from fat. So the only other way to meet the minimum is through sugar. Terrible right?!?! It's time for a major #realschoolfood nutritional revamp!!!! -
DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr @lindseyshifley I've heard the same. And they have the same for protein, which often comes from red meat instead of plant-based proteins. Crazy!
