Sugarproof: Protect Your Family from the Hidden Dangers of Excess Sugar with Simple Everyday Fixes

A leading childhood nutrition researcher and experienced public health educator explain the unique harm sugar poses to children’s development and health. They offer parents an essential 7- and 28-day “sugarproof” program with over 35 recipes without added sugars.

Sugar can wreak havoc on adults, but it’s uniquely harmful to children’s growing livers, hearts, and brains. USC Professor of Pediatrics Michael Goran found that too much sugar causes childhood obesity and health issues in kids who aren’t overweight, including fatty liver disease, prediabetes, and elevated heart disease risk. It’s likely a culprit in behavioral, emotional, and learning problems.

Dr. Goran and co-author Dr. Emily Ventura bust sugar myths, help families identify sources, and suggest solutions to reduce sugar consumption and protect kids.
