Note from the author: "As a mother, researcher and former school teacher I believe that the health and well-being of our children is vital. We don't want to see them in pain and just as importantly they are our future! With so many children experiencing health issues ranging from obesity to diabetes to rapid tooth decay the connection between nutrition and health has never been more important to examine and consider. I wrote Healthy Kids, Health Diet to give parents a handbook for feeding their families well, offer clear and unbiased information to make informed decisions, and provide support along the journey." Sue Kuivanen "Healthy Kids, Healthy Diets" is the culmination of interviewing numerous health experts, field work, research, and reading over 100 health books. If you read only a few books on health and nutrition for kids, be sure to include this one!
