Excessive sugar is a serious health threat for Sandy children. Do you know how much sugar your Salt Lake City son or daughter is really consuming? I am children’s nutrition advocate Melanie Green.
Here are some popular Salt Lake City kid’s snacks with more sugar than many parents realize:
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 Sandy grocery store, Salt Lake City convenience store, or Draper ball park snack bar, read the labels. Sugar content varies among brands.
Limiting the amount of sugar in your Sandy child’s diet is an essential step toward better lifelong eating and oral health.
