POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Brown sugar, like any other sugar, should be consumed in moderation, especially for children. While it contains trace amounts of minerals like calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium, these amounts are not significant enough to contribute to daily nutritional needs.
Excessive consumption of sugar, including brown sugar, can lead to various health issues such as:
- Tooth decay
- Obesity
- Increased risk of type 2 diabetes
- Poor nutrition (when sugary foods replace more nutritious options)
It's generally better to focus on providing children with a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. If you do use brown sugar, it should be sparingly and as part of a balanced diet.
