Sugar by itself contains no nutrients, no protein, no healthy fats, and no enzymes. “For kids who are still developing their nutritional foundation, metabolism, and hormones, even a little sugar can be harmful.” This article not only explains the harmful effects of sugar, it provides reasoning for not completely restricting unhealthy foods when away from home.
