Description

In this week’s episode, I discuss the evidence on whether young children should be consuming sweet drinks like squash/cordial/diluting juice. 


I explain where the research is up to and give some practical advice that parents can use to help improve their children’s dietary variety. 


References for the studies discussed can be found at www.Martin-MacDonald.com/Ep101
