A high sugar intake is associated with a higher risk for obesity, but so many parents may not realize what the recommended limits for sugar are for kids or how much sugar is in the foods their kids regularly eat. A recent study published in the International Journal of Obesity revealed that most parents underestimate the amount of sugar in the diets of their children. The study also found that when parents underestimated sugar content in foods there was a higher risk of their child being overweight or obese.

The American Heart Association recommends children over the age of 2 should not consume more than 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day. To be clear, “added sugar” refers to the amount of sugar that is not naturally occurring in a food and is instead added to enhance the flavor. A piece of whole fruit has no added sugar but a “fruit cup” from the grocery store may have many added teaspoons to give it that syrupy sweet taste.

Review this post to learn about 5 sneaky foods that may have excessive added sugar. Always talk to your pediatrician with any questions or concerns regarding your child's nutrition.
