In this episode, Michael talks about why he decided to focus on sugar addiction towards children. For the last thirty years, this has been Michael’s sole focus; he speaks about what he has learned about kids and sugar throughout his many years as an expert in the field. We talk about the importance of breastfeeding and how breastfeeding for twelve months can have massive benefits to your children. Tune in as we speak about nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, why kids need to ditch added sugars, and what’s really in Coca-Cola products.

Michael wanted to learn about chronic diseases and how they started in childhood.  At the end of the day, he found a lot of very interesting information about sugar and how to modify it. Michael wanted to get that information out there to the public. If someone is diabetic, that didn’t happen over the past year. Instead, they have been eating a poor diet for the last ten to fifteen years.  Get Sugarproof: The Hidden Dangers of Sugar That Are Putting Your Child's Health at Risk and What You Can Do: https://www.amazon.com/Sugarproof-Hidden-Dangers-Putting-Childs/dp/0525541195/benazadi-20   [04:40] Options For Babies As They Get Off of Breast Milk  The food
