A member asked:
Docs can you explain, is sugar free candy really that much better for kids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
controversial: I am of the opinion that teaching our kids to crave sweets is not that good, whatever the source of sweetener. If you do, certainly sugar free have less calories. With 100 empty calories for each piece of candy in many, 1/day can cause a pound per month of unwanted weight gain.Sugar free avoids this short term issue, but still may pattern a kid to a lifetime of overindulgence.
