Breaking Your Child's Sugar Habit

When young children routinely indulge in sugar-laden foods, their taste buds become conditioned to crave sugar, creating unhealthy habits that follow them into adulthood. Studies show that children who are overweight by age 2 are more likely to be overweight as adults, leading to a greater risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and other health problems. Joining us with tips to lay the groundwork for healthy habits is Dr. Christopher Weber, Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine and with Columbia St. Mary's Germantown Clinic, part of Ascension.
