This is so sad. You can't trust anything anymore. The people with the tinfoil hats were right all along. This needs a lawsuit for false advertising and labeling. They convinced parents this was healthy option.

Diabetes, health disease and cancer? Damn she listed all the most profitable industries!

Before I started pre-nursery, I used to sneak sugar and milk powder from the kitchen whenever my parents were at work. I had a real sweet tooth and would be upset if my dad didn’t bring home a Milky Bar after work. These days, I’m the complete opposite. I don’t use sugar at all and grow most of my own food. Ultra Processed Foods and cold drinks are things I only have on special occasions(once or twice/year) now, and I’m much more healthier and mindful about what I eat.

Should do this now for dog food. I just swapped my dog over to a non grain diet, it's about twice as expensive but he loves it

Nothing in a pouch, tub, can or bottle can match natural products for your kids. Blend your own fruits and veg.

Now I can see why my friends kid doesn’t like water… at 1 1/2 years old.

Got the same fake snake plant. Love how you move it from set to set.

Not me anymore. Stopped eating just about any food with added sugars not naturally present. That said, I doubt many have that level of conviction to stop eating deliciousness.

[Damnusername]

hang on. at 7:19 you called 5g total sugar "from pear" with 0 added sugar a red flag, but at 9:30 13g of sugar "from fruits" is okay? I get that one of them is marketed more as a veggie thing than as a fruit thing, but if we're worried about sugar consumption here (as the title suggests) that doesn't add up in the slightest.

[MikiM]

I've never seen pouches with added sugar in the Europe (Italy, UK, Germany). In any case, I've always given my children the whole fruit

The company slogan should be: Your health is the second most important thing to us! The first is profit for the shareholders!

More food diversity more native edible foods.
Reduce reuse and start fixing the damage we have done to are soils.

[Beautyaddixion]

And people act like this isn't affecting child behavior. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[mizzmatrix]

We don't have a lot of these kinds of foods in Europe. Especially those color-additions, they're banned, for our safety 😅

[yak-machining]

Why don't we ban sugar in kids food?

[Xeonerable]

It's kind of startling how many of these are made in a way that they look like candy. Then the over-use of the word "organic" is quite off-putting.

[ijaan]

why is broccoli so popular as the healthiest veggie and a kids villain??

[Rootbeer-]

2 grams is half a sugar cube, half a cube of added sugar isnt that bad. (the typical sugar cube size is 4 grams, or 1 teaspoon)

[daniels-mool]

4:39 you should have shown a scale. I am against these added sugar companies and food processors, but that looks more like 25-30g if not even 40g of sugar on that plate, not 14.
