Some Tid Bits on Sugar

According to a 1997 study as little as six teaspoons a day can reduce the immune response by 25%. Rather frightening when you consider that most foods particularly those geared towards children contains a substantial amount of sugar. This can have a dramatic effect on your children and babies health.

A study conducted in a California School District stopped offering foods with high sugar content. In one year scores on a standardized achievement test went up by 8 percent in one year.

In early 1991 a study revealed that children were bombarded with a total of 222 junk food commercials when watching cartoons for a four-hour period on a Saturday morning. The products advertised were candy, chips, cookies, sugar-coated cereals, fruit flavoured drinks, chocolate syrup, fast food meals and pizza.
