When Dr. Michael Goran started researching children’s nutrition almost 40 years ago, he wasn’t looking at obesity, type 2 diabetes, or fatty liver disease. That wasn’t because his head was in the sand - those things didn’t exist in kids but now all 3 are becoming prevalent.

What is going on???

Time and time again, the research pointed to a surprising cause - excess sugar.

In this professorial interview, you’ll learn:

what excess sugar does in the body, including before someone is even born
why “excess sugar” is a tricky term to use
the changes in how we consume sugar since the 80s (it might not be what you think)
the dangers of liquid sugar and the massive red flags with the current alternative option!
very practical ideas to take control of the situation in the only place you can
encouragement that you can take small steps to make a big difference!
how to empower kids to make their own good choices

Does Sugarproofing your kids mean withholding all sugar? Find out in this interview!
