According to WHO, the need for sugar in children is not more than 10% of total energy requirements that theyneeded. Thus,
in children aged 1-3 years with an average energy requirement is only
1000 kilo calories then the sugar needs of children
aged 1 year maximum of only 25 grams in one day, or the equivalent of 5
teaspoons of sugar.
In children aged 3-6 years with an average energy needs of 1550 kilo calories, the sugar needs no more than 38 grams per day or 8 teaspoons of sugar per day. If in any food you serve have added sugar, either as a sweetener or as flavorings, then you can think of about how the rest of the sugar demand that could be given when he is drinking bottled drinks. This is the reason why you have to look at labels on foods or beverages.
