Yogurt Sugar High
Laura has been feeding the girls baby yogurt lately and they love it. They share 2 flavors in a sitting, so each of them get one whole serving during their snack time. Ever since they started eating the yogurt they would get cranky and angry when it was all finished. This amused us how they wanted more, no craved more. So after today’s episode I asked Laura about the contents of this baby yogurt. She read over the all natural ingredients. The second ingredient was naturally milled sugar, 16 grams of sugar per serving. I looked it up online, and it translated to about 4 teaspoons of sugar per serving. I went into the kitchen and measured out 4 teaspoons of sugar onto a plate and showed Laura. No wonder the girls go crazy for this snack, and get angry when they finish 2 containers for snack time. I decided that they are getting too much sugar from this feed and have banned the yogurt. They will now be eating regular whole milk organic yogurt, which we will add some fresh fruit or 100% juice to flavor. At least there wasn’t any high fructose corn syrup.
