A leading childhood nutrition researcher and an experienced public health educator explain the hidden danger sugar poses to a childs development and health and offer parents an essential 7- and 28-day sugarproof program. Most of us know that sugar can wreak havoc on adult bodies, but few realize how uniquely harmful it is to the growing livers, hearts, and brains of children. And the damage can begin early in life. In his research on the effects of sugar on kids present and future health, USC Professor of Pediatrics and Program Director for Diabetes and Obesity at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles Michael Goran has found that too much sugar doesnt just cause childhood obesity, it can cause health issues in kids who are not overweight too, including fatty liver disease, prediabetes, and elevated risk for eventual heart disease. And, it is a likely culprit in the behavioral, emotional, and learning problems that many children struggle with every day. In a groundbreaking study, Gorans team conducted a detailed analysis of the sugary products that kids love and found that these yogurts, cereals, sodas, and juices often had more sugar than advertised and also contained different types of sugar than were being disclosed. Todays children are not just consuming more sugar than ever, but they are consuming sugars that are particularly harmful to them--and their parents dont even know it.The news is dire, but there is also plenty of hope. We can prevent, address, and even in many cases reverse the effects of too much sugar. In this guide to Sugarproof kids, Dr. Goran and co-author Dr. Emily Ventura, an expert in nutrition education and recipe development, bust myths about the various types of sugars and sweeteners, help families identify sneaky sources of sugar in their diets, and suggest realistic, family-based solutions to reduce sugar consumption and therefore protect kids. Their unique Sugarproof approach teaches parents to raise informed and empowered kids who can set their own healthy limits without feeling restricted. With a 7- and 28-day challenge to help families right-size sugar in their diets, along with more than 35 recipes all without added sugars, everyone can give their children a healthy new start to life.

Annotation
****A leading childhood nutrition researcher and an experienced public health educator explain the hidden danger sugar poses to a child's development and health, and offer parents an essential 7- and 28-day "sugarproof" program.**** Though he has long studied the effects of childhood obesity, USC professor and Program Director for Diabetes and Obesity at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, Michael Goran, found something shocking when he and his team started to look at the sugary foods kids love: the nutrition labels on apple juice, flavored yogurts, and sodas weren't telling a complete story. His testing revealed the products had more sugar than advertised and different types of sugar than were being disclosed. Goran realized: today's children aren't just consuming more sugar, they're consuming more types of sugar than ever before, ones that are uniquely harmful to growing livers, hearts, and brains-- *and their parents don't even know it*.

Introduction
I remember the day I decided to write Sugarproof. At the time, I was leading a team at the Childhood Obesity Research Center, which I founded at the University of Southern California. For over thirty years, my research has focused on understanding the causes and consequences of obesity in children and how nutrition in early life, even in healthy children, can affect long-term disease risk into adulthood. Over the years, Ive seen diet trends come and go, but for me its all about the data.
On most days, Im at my desk looking at results from studies involving children who suffer from weight gain and its associated health problems like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and liver disease. I work to uncover the links between diet and health during infancy and childhood, and then I design and test unique interventions to address these problems. As a nutrition scientist, my hope is always that the raw numbers I love so much will ultimately help us discover how to best prevent the damage that these diseases and disorders do to our children using nutritional approaches. With all sorts of measurement tools like dietary assessments, specific blood tests, MRI scans, body composition measures, and DNA sequencing to test genetic differences and gut microbiome differences, I look for answers through patterns in the data.
But on this day, a different kind of data crossed my desk. What I saw that morning were the results of a laboratory analysis that Id commissioned, one that looked at products that children love: sweetened beverages, juices, and yogurts. The products I studied included the obvious choices like Coca-Cola, Sprite, and 7UP as well as a broad range of juice drinks popular with kids, including Capri Sun, apple juice, and the orange drink Tampico. The analysis also included snacks and breakfast foods like Go-Gurt and other yogurts, and sweetened breakfast cereals. I knew that these foods and drinks were high in sugar. But I wanted to know more about the different types of sugars that might be hidden in them, the ones nutrition labels are not required to disclose. I had a very simple question: What exactly are in these products that we are routinely feeding to our children?
The results made my jaw drop. In many cases, the overall amount of sugar in the products was higher than was listed on the food labels. Worse yet, I saw a disturbing amount of hidden fructose in these products. Fructose is a cheap and sweet form of sugar, with many benefits as an ingredient when used in food and beverage production. But unfortunately, more and more research shows that fructose is especially damaging to growing hearts, livers, and brains. Ive spent thirty years as a researcher, and long before this day Id seen sugar do awful things to children. I had researched sugar as a factor in chronic disease, weight gain, and behavioral problems, and Id become an advocate for families, researching interventions that can help parents rightsize their families sugar consumptionand that can even turn these diseases around. Even so, this day was a tipping point.
The cold data in front of me led to a visceral understanding: Todays children are not just consuming more sugar than ever before, theyre consuming different types of sugar, ones that are uniquely harmful to young bodiesand their parents dont know it. Even parents who try to eat healthy dont know whats in their childrens food, because its hidden on the labels, or its disguised by some other confusing name on the ingredient list. Even parents who are concerned about their childs troublesome symptoms or behaviors dont know that certain types of sugar could be a factor, because most pediatricians themselves often dont know.
Although most of us know that sugar can wreak havoc on adult bodies, many of the parents whose children participate in my research studies are shocked when they hear their childs test results. They simply cant believe it when they find out that their child has dangerously high levels of blood lipids, or that body fat has wrapped itself around their childs internal organs, or that it has even built up inside those organs. Or that sugar might help explain their childs behavioral, emotional, or learning problems.
