[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sugar (sucrose) is a carbohydrate that occurs naturally in every fruit and vegetable. It is the major product of photosynthesis, the process by which plants transform the sun's energy into food. Sugar occurs in greatest quantities in sugar cane and sugar beets from which it is separated for commercial use.[/font]
Although children burn extra calories received from sugar during daily activities, some may eventually end up overweight if they consume a high-calorie diet on a daily basis. Children who are overweight face an increased risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and heart disease when they get older.
Dental problems such as tooth decay and unhealthy gums can be reduced by limiting the amount of sugar.
Here are some ways parents can limit sugar in children's diets:

The problem with sugar is not so much the sugar that God puts in products, it's the refined white crap and all the "ose" products that end up in such a wide variety of foods we eat.Goober Mcfly said:

That is right, although sugar is being overused, it is still a natural food source. Part of the problem in childrens diets is that saccarose sugar has been replaced in most soft drinks etc. by corn syrup, which consist of related sugars, which are not as sweet to the human taste. Consequently, more is needed and hence more calories are found.yychobbyist said:
