This is How You Can Cut Processed Sugar From Kid's Diet
The journey of a Mom who kept the sweetness while eliminating processed sugar from her son's diet. Having sugar was a daily affair Just like so many people, I was unaware of the harmful effect of sugar. I knew that sugar was unhealthy and didn't add any nutrition to my child's diet but it was just something at the back of my head. You know it but you really don't take any action about it till it becomes really needed. So, that is the way it was in my household too. In 2015, all of us had just turned vegan in my house and we were off dairy and other animal foods but still have the occasional biscuits, cakes, chocolates etc. My mom also used to love making sweets for him as he had a sweet tooth so it was sharing of mutual love through sweets between grandparent and child.
