      <description><![CDATA[I see sometimes children who misbehave, there seems to be "junk food" involved. It is wild, how we associate certain foods with inhibiting clear judgement or rather not being healthy for the mind and yet these foods are given to CHILDREN so that they will stop annoying parents. You provide good tips for making kid's lunches healthy and satisfying. I like the yogurt muesli and fruit cup idea. It is very customizable. Kids like variety and it can be mixed even the night before. It is also something simple where you can get the kids involved, for fun. They can learn to make them themselves and that creats a good habbit]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[While I never plan to have children, I sure have friends who do (so this is a great article for sharing). I like that you cover a wide range of topics here in good detail, from nutrition to antibiotics to immune health to physical health. I agree that it sure is a shame so many of the foods marketed directly towards children have a dearth of health benefits (and often are directly harmful due to high sugar/containing other harmful ingredients). On the note of the suggar discussion, recommending xylitol is a great idea, especially since xylitol is generally good for the mouth microbiome!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello Paul, 

Indeed, sugar and high fructose corn syrup are in a lot of foods aimed at children. However, there are healthier alternatives such as xylitol, agave and natural sweeteners like maple syrup or honey. Thank you for sharing your thoughts too & enjoying our articles. 

Here's another article on the subject you may enjoy:

      <description><![CDATA[One of the negative effects of added sugar — and high-fructose corn syrup — is that it can spike blood sugar and insulin levels.

Due to its high levels of fructose, it can also lead to insulin resistance and multiple metabolic problems when consumed in excess .

However, xylitol contains zero fructose and has negligible effects on blood sugar and insulin (2Trusted Source, 5Trusted Source).

Therefore, none of the harmful effects of sugar apply to xylitol.

Xylitol’s glycemic index (GI) — a measure of how quickly a food raises blood sugar — is only 7, whereas regular sugar’s is 60–70]]></description>
