My name is Melanie Green and I am a children’s health advocate in Draper, Utah. Most Utah parents notice behavioral effects when they feed their kids highly processed foods full of sugar and additives.
Salt Lake City elementary teachers advise sending fruit, vegetables, and protein in children’s lunches and leaving processed, sugary snacks at home. They notice that Draper children who eat healthy learn and behave better.
When shopping at your Salt Lake City grocery store you may want to start reading labels on snacks more carefully. A recent study conducted by Britain’s Food Standards Agency (their version of the FDA) found that seven dyes could affect children’s intelligence by up to five IQ points! When reading Utah food labels check for Yellow #5, Yellow #6, and Red #40. In fact, Red #40 is banned in several European countries.

My kids love dried apricots, raisins, sliced apples with sunflower seed butter, and snap peas. If you would like more information on improving your Draper child’s health and nutrition through healthy snacking please contact me today! – Melanie
