Do you ever wonder if you can give your kids sugar?  What is sugar?  Sugar comes from a plant called sugarcane.  Sugarcane is grown in Asia and on many tropical islands.  Also, there are artificial sugars made all over the world.  It is important to know that this substance is found in bread, cereal, and much more than candy.  Sugar is all around the world  and can be addicting so people have more and more and get fatter and fatter.  In this essay I will argue that too much sugar is bad for children because t is bad for your health, it is addicting and it makes them hyper.

Too much sugar is bad for kids because it makes kids hyper.  Children may not be able to focus in school.  Kids may get a sugar rush and go crazy until they get candy in the middle of class.  Not only is there a sugar rush but there is a sugar crash.  For example, a young child may come to school hyper and come back home exhausted if they have too much candy or unhealthy cereal like Fruit Loops.  All in all, sugar may make you hyper and cause problems.  

Too much sugar makes kids unhealthy.  Kids may get tooth decay and have to get drills in their teeth.  Children may also get cavities in their teeth and have painful drills.  Sugary foods have many calories.  Calories can make people fat, and this is bad because people will have a lot of fat stored and that can be bad.  Remember sugar-free stuff is usually sweet, so what makes it sweet?  Well, they put chemicals and other stuff into the product, so if you have a choice, choose sugar.  

It seems to me that too much sugar is bad for kids and here are a few reasons why.  Number one, you may try to stop and have unusual symptoms.  Number two, you may also use sugar to soothe.  For example, your kids might have a bad day and use a candy bar to make them feel better.  Let me tell you oe more reason is that a kid may need more to satisfy the habit of candy or sugar.  For one thing your kid might have twenty bucks and there is a mega-sized that is $19.  Your kids could buy it and eat it all that day.  It’s just important to remember that too much sugar is bad for kids.  

In conclusion, sugar is bad for kids.  In my own life I find sugar tempting but I balance it with things such as roasted broccoli, kale chips, caesar salad and brussel sprouts.
