Some things warrant serious consideration, but others could be dismissed in a second if she just had the facts. It’s time mom knew the facts. From the ever-changing food pyramid to the sticky situation of sugars and sweeteners- there is a lot of competing information out there. How many servings of fruits and vegetables do they really need a day? And they’re crazy for sweets, but how many to limit them to? One of the sticky issues parents come back to involves their concerns with sugars and sweeteners. There are many myths and inaccuracies floating around about sweeteners, ranging from the caloric content of sweeteners to their possible role in the obesity epidemic in the United States. Given concerns about portion sizes, the food pyramid, and sugars and sweeteners in our children’s diets, Dr. Rippe can help ease some of mom’s concerns and offer her advice on how to pack the perfect lunch box.
