No, I didn’t know that. That means that one in three of my son’s classmates, and one in three of his friends. It just makes me more intent on ensuring that he is one of the 2 in 3 that doesn’t.

No I didn’t know that. That is scary to think about. I highly limit the sugary foods my son eats. He gets to pick a couple pieces of candy and it gets put away. Same with sugary juice. Even though it’s 100% juice doesn’t mean it doesn’t have sugar in it. I water it down to about 50/50. I don’t let him have soda. He only gets juice boxes when we go on long trips in the car. He’s content to drink milk or water. It’s hard to keep sugar at bay when his daddy loves to eat cookies and candy. Lead by example right?! Thanks for all of the tips and facts.

I heard that recently such a sad statistic =(

I recently heard this depressing news. We try to limit our little ones’ sugary intake and treat fruits as dessert instead.

No but since I have it scares me

No, I did not know that statistic. Very sad, but makes me even more determined to continue to pass out pencils, stickers, or similar treats for Halloween.
