Sugar for babies

Now, please... make my day and tell me that in your country things are different. tell me that unlike Canada, YOU don't put sugar in baby food. Go on, tell me...... and then read this:

"More than half of foods (53 percent) targeted to toddlers in Canadian grocery stores contain an excessive amount of sugar, according to a new study published in the Journal of Public Health."

Funded by the Canadian Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), the study examined sugar content of 186 foods marketed specifically for babies and toddlers – excluding fruit and vegetable purées – and found that 53 percent contained more than 20 percent sugar. The study’s author said the aim was to highlight the growing category of foods designed for toddlers beyond simple purées and juices, which includes puréed dinners and desserts, and toddler-targeted entrées, dinners, cereals and snacks. 

Why am I angry? because it's like a drug dealer giving our kids cocaine. It sets in place a lifelong addiction to the single most acidifying  food we regularly eat.. nay, crave.


It supports early imbalance of intestinal flora, particularly candida, which in turn leaves us in a permanent state of inflammation, and we end up like the seriously sick population we have right now. And then, fifty years later, we go to the doctor for a pill to 'fix' this new problem". It's not new. It's almost as old as you. It's sugar, the biggest most insidious drug in our society.
