Children's Diets: Dos and Don'ts

The most important foods to avoid

  • Soy milk (depletes calcium and thyroid function)
  • Corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup (cannot be metabolized)
  • Partially hydrogenated fats in cookies, crackers, and chips (promotes allergies)
  • Fried foods, e.g. French fries and chips (promotes allergies, heart disease, and cancer)
  • Fish (mercury exposure)

The most important food issues

  • Eat fresh fruits (and vegetables if they are willing)
  • Use organic whole milk, yogurt, and butter when possible (non-organic animal products contain antibiotics, pesticides, and hormones)
  • Use organic chicken, turkey, and beef for the same reason
  • Whole grain products, e.g. breads, cookies (contains more fiber and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals than enriched wheat and bleached white flour)
