Happy New Year Everybody! Just wanted to inform you guys that the United States Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services introduced their dietary guidance Some of the main bullet points for infants/toddlers / teenagers are as follows. - As aligned with the AAP recommendation, starting "nutrient-dense" foods to infants at 6 months of life, however, something new is with discussion with your pediatrician introducing potentially allergenic fo...ods especially for high-risk individuals. -The new guidelines suggest that starting at the age of 2, a child should consume less than 10% of calories per day of added sugars while those younger than 2 years old should avoid foods or beverages with added sugars, which is in my opinion very generous and can be even lower. - In general to limit foods with added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium, and limit alcoholic beverages, at every life stage, and push for more whole foods, rather than processed foods.
