Excessive sugar is a serious health threat for Mililani children. Do you know how much sugar your Honolulu son or daughter is really consuming? I am children’s nutrition advocate Dwight Kimbrel.
Here are some popular Honolulu kid’s snacks with more sugar than I realized:
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 Mililani grocery store, Honolulu convenience store, or Wahiawa ball park snack bar, read the labels. Sugar content varies among brands.
Limiting the amount of sugar in your Mililani child’s diet is an important step toward better lifelong eating and oral health. To hear about another great way to improve your child’s nutrition in Hawaii, call me today!
