At least we won't be the ones injecting our children with insulin later on. |
Spoken like someone who has no clue how diabetes works... |
Yeah right lifestyle doesn't increase your risk to develop diabetes 2....
|
Obesity and sedentary lifestyle are the primary risk factors, excluding genetics. Not sugar. Sugar may contribute to obesity if you eat too much and don't exercise, but in and of itself, it is not a risk factor. |

If she likes yogurt, maybe she'd like thick soups like potato, potato and broccoli, chili with a glob of sour cream or plain greek yogurt as enticement, cold soups...
Does she eat anything else? She sounds like she'd go for drinks like pediasure, and maybe if you give her the strawberry she could discover she likes berries. You can buy pouches you can fill yourself to make her purees that are yogurt-based with vegetables. Yogurt-covered raisins may appeal to her, and you could slowly mix in peanuts and other trail mix items. Good luck. |
Where did I say that sugar causes diabetes, sweetie? |
| I wonder if OP is a troll. |
What a load of bull. You're the reason why healthcare is getting out of control. OP doesn't need a speech therapist for goodness sake. The kid is a picky 5 year old as are thousands of other kids. Give her what she'll eat and make sure she takes a vitamin daily. Her palette will expand in time and, guess what, she'll live. We should make all of you helicopter parents who rush to medicine for everything pay for your bills out of pocket. That'll make you wake up and quit wasting taxpayer money. |
Natural flavour? Eww. |
Yes 12 grams. |
Let see I can believe you or the NY Times....

| Wow that's over a 1/4 pound a day. |
| If you think it's ok to give your kid juice and sugar all day long, you are a complete fool. Laugh at the sugar freaks as much as you need to, but I assure you that sugar is the likely cause of most of your child's behavioral issues as well as many health issues (now and later). Try cutting it out for a week. I bet it will improve your life. If you can't, enjoy! |
Interesting. I think there is just so much sugar in everything. I am trying to lose wieght, but those sugar salt things kill me.

Just eat real food. Do not buy processed foods to the extent possible. For example, eat meat and vegetables or salad for dinner, not rice out of a box, etc. |
