And what might be your best effort right now may not be your best effort at some other time, or the same as someone else\u2019s best effort\u2014and that\u2019s okay. But what isn\u2019t fair is when the cards are stacked against you\u2014when things that have been marketed to us as \u201cfood\u201d are really causing harm to us and to our kids. The biggest, most prolific culprit? Sugar. It\u2019s everywhere\u2014but it\u2019s not just in the places you\u2019d expect. In the last several decades, sugar has silently found its way into so many foods we eat, many of which would surprise you. In fact, I recently shared a video on Instagram highlighting a fruit and chia cup that had 14 grams of sugar ADDED to the natural sugar already in the fruit. Nowadays, sugar is added to yogurt, tomato sauce, even the bread you use to make your kids\u2019 sandwiches. And this invasion of sugar into everything we eat isn\u2019t without consequence. We see its effects in everything from the obesity epidemic to kids\u2019 mood, behavior, and brain function. We\u2019re even seeing problems like fatty liver disease pop up in children. But there is hope. In their new book, Sugarproof: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar That Are Putting Your Child\u2019s Health at Risk and What You Can Do, Dr. Michael Goran and Dr. Emily Ventura paint not only the intimidating sugar-laden landscape of modern American diets, but also simple steps you can put into action with your family right now. In this enlightening conversation, Drs. Goran and Ventura show you how to \u201cSugarproof\u201d your kids.   **This episode is sponsored by happyly.
