No matter adults or children, for desserts are all irresistible. Especially some children, once opened the door to eat sugar, can not control. Eating sweets is a happy and joyful thing, but recently it has been criticized by the World Health Organization by name.

Between 2016 and 2017, a sample of baby food currently on the market in the UK, Denmark and Spain was tested. At the time of the tests, it was found that a proportion of manufacturers were adding fruit purees and the like to their meals to boost the sugar content. If consumed over a long period of time, this food group can lead to several physical and mental health damages such as tooth decay and obesity for infants. Therefore, in order to prevent the use of "incorrectly advertised" foods for infants and young children, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that "no sugar should be added to foods and beverages for infants and young children under 3 years of age". The free sugars recommended to be strictly prohibited include: added sugars and other sweeteners (including all sugar paddles, pure honey, fruit juices, juice concentrates, or sweeteners such as artificial sugar, acesulfame, sucralose, aspartame, stevia)

Fruit juices and juices concentrates (except for a small amount of lime or lemonade used as additives) are 100% processed or extracted, except for those used as one of the raw materials for the main course of the food. The content of fresh fruit (fresh fruit puree or dried fruit) must be within 5% of the total weight of the ingredients. And on the front of the package, the approximate percentage of energy (energy ratio) accounted for by sugar must be indicated.

What's worth noting is that what the WHO has announced is not a law or regulation, but a recommendation for what are basically foods and beverages for infants and young children (formula is not included). This recommendation can produce what kind of changes to the baby food field is not yet known, but can establish a signal to your parents is: the harm of sugar intake of infants, can not be underestimated. This is not the first time that the WHO has announced a 'sugar restriction', as long ago as 2015, it was recommended in the Guidelines for Sugar Intake in Adults and Children that free sugar intake in adults and children should be reduced to less than 10% of total energy intake. If possible, free sugars should first be reduced to less than 5% of total energy intake. Behind the "harshness" of this special recommendation for the age of 3 years, there is actually anxiety about the physical problems caused by excessive sugar intake in infants. Many parents understand that too much salt too early is not good for children, but compared to salt, sugar can do more harm than good.

Healthy lifestyles with less glycogen.
