How much salt and sugar can a 2 year old have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As little as possibl: We don't have exact numbers for your answer, only guidelines. What I can tell you about salt and simple sugars is that less is definitely better. Try to cook fresh and from scratch as much as possible. People have no idea how much salt is in pre-packaged foods. And simple sugar should also be kept to a minimum. It causes swings in insulin release, and wide fluctuations in blood sugar follows
