Sugar – extremely important energy source

Children would not be children if they were to behave all the time and be quiet and obedient. It is in their nature to move around all the time, jump and run. But to be able to do this, they need a lot of energy, which comes primarily from sugar intake. And what is the better source for it then desserts? Despite many prejudices, as long as you stick to those simple recipes you should not fear that your child would increase its body mass or experience some other unfavorable side effects.

Unfortunately, many parents believe that these savory snacks have the potential to do their children more harm than good. This includes the present fear of sugar addiction. What such, as well as all other parents should know is that almost every type of food contains sugar to a certain extent, with one exception, meat.
