 3 Alarming Stats Parents & Grandparents Must Know
-
Children are consuming up to 3 times the recommended daily sugar intake.
The World Health Organization recommends no more than 25 grams (6 teaspoons) of added sugar per day for children — yet many kids are consuming 75 grams or more daily, mostly from processed foods, sugary drinks, and snacks.
-
Ultra-processed foods make up over 60% of the average child’s diet in North America.
 This includes packaged snacks, cereals, fast food, and frozen meals — all engineered for addiction, not nutrition. (And much of it is deceptively marketed as healthy.)
-
Rates of Type 2 diabetes in children have increased by over 95% in the last 20 years.
Once considered “adult-onset diabetes,” Type 2 is now rapidly rising among kids, correlating directly with poor diet and sugar overconsumption.
 3 Critical Outcomes If Nothing Changes
-
Chronic Illness by Adolescence or Early Adulthood
Obesity, diabetes, fatty liver disease, and early markers of heart disease are now showing up in children as young as 8 years old.
-
Mental Health and Behavioral Issues
High sugar and processed food diets are linked to anxiety, depression, aggression, and attention disorders, disrupting both school performance and emotional stability.
-
Lifelong Dependency and Food Addiction
Processed food addiction in childhood sets up a neurological and emotional pattern of lifelong compulsive eating, poor self-regulation, and chronic disease — unless interrupted early.
