Kids ages 2 to 19 consume an average of 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day. That’s almost triple the six teaspoons limit recommended by the American Heart Association. Sugar-sweetened beverages are the leading source of that added sugar.
According to nutritionist, author, and LMNT Partner Kelly LeVeque, if parents cut that one category from kids’ diets, they’ll remove up to half of their daily added sugar. That matters short and long term.
Research following adults who had less sugar exposure in early childhood found 35% lower rates of type 2 diabetes and 20% lower rates of hypertension decades later.
We sat down with LeVeque to take a deeper dive into kids and sugar. In the video interview, we discuss:
Why liquid sugar hits differently than the sugar in whole foods
How sugar’s spike-and-crash cycle can affect mood, attention, and the ability to learn
How to swap out sugary drinks without a full pantry overhaul
LeVeque's take on using sugar as a bribe or reward

As LeVeque puts it, "There is always a chance to rewrite the script and pull the sugar from your child's diet and have better boundaries with them." Start with one simple swap when you're ready — small changes, made one at a time, are the ones that tend to stick.

SALTY SCIENCE SPOTLIGHT
Bowl of chocolate ice cream with the title "8 Ways to Reduce Sugar Cravings.
Sugar can be tough to cut back on whether you’re a kid or an adult. Biology makes us all crave the sweet stuff.
Sugar triggers a dopamine hit in you the same way it does for a six-year-old, and the crash that follows leaves adults just as cranky and likely to reach for more.
There are concrete ways to take the edge off, though.
In this article, I share my eight go-to strategies to reduce sugar cravings. They work for me. Maybe they’ll work for you (and your family), too.
