Episode notes
Avoid Synthetic Food Dyes
- Avoid foods with synthetic dyes by checking ingredient labels for Red 40, Yellow 5/6, and Blue 1.
- These dyes are linked to inattention, hyperactivity, gut issues, and possible cellular damage.
Lunchboxes At Parties
- Bryan packed his kids a lunchbox to avoid party pizza and sugary drinks, which put them in awkward social situations.
- He used performance reasoning (e.g., you will run slower) to motivate kids to refuse sugary items.
Cap Sugar To 25g Daily
- Limit children's added sugar to about 25 grams per day, inclusive of all sources.
- Most foods marketed to kids exceed that limit in a single serving, so overhaul daily choices accordingly.
