15 Nov 2019 --- Although the numbers are in decline, nearly 61 percent of infants and 98 percent of toddlers still consume added sugars in their average daily diets – primarily in the form of flavored yogurts and fruit drinks. This is according to a new Elsevier study, published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Sugars contained in breast milk and formula were not included in the consumption estimates. The researchers note that a further reduction is needed to avoid negative health conditions, and parents – as well as policy – should both act on the matter.
