Sugar and Why Your Baby Should Avoid it with Robert Lustig, MD, MSL

#68: Sure you know your baby doesn’t need sugar. But did you know that added sugars are EVERYWHERE in the commercial food supply, including baby foods?    In this episode I’m joined by Dr. Robert Lustig - the BIG DADDY of sugar research and he’s breaking it DOWN exactly why your baby doesn’t need sugar (...and what you can do to avoid it!)   You may know Dr. Lustig from documentary films such as FED UP or SUGAR COATED...or possibly the longest viral video ever, his SUGAR: THE BITTER TRUTH 90 minute treatise on every reason why we’re being tricked into eating sugar and what it’s doing for our bodies.   But Dr. Lustig is also doing groundbreaking research on TEXTURES and PALATE DEVELOPMENT and he’s sharing WHY as he puts it, “We have been feeding babies pureed semi solid food for millenia...and they’re still here!”   Sit back and enjoy this interview with Dr. Robert Lustig of UCSF,    If you’re ready to raise an independent eater and prevent picky eating then let’s get started learning about baby-led weaning together!
