Should I limit how much fruit my child eats because it contains sugar?

Business To Business, Sydney, 30 July 2025: Parents are frequently warned that fruit is “bad” due to its natural sugar content, raising concerns about how much fruit children should consume.

This message has been intensified by the “sugar-free” movement, which vilifies sugar by suggesting it leads to weight gain and diabetes. The movement often promotes restrictive lists of foods to avoid, commonly including popular kids’ fruits like bananas and berries.

However, as with many claims propagated by the diet industry, these concerns lack solid scientific backing. Fruits are an important part of a healthy diet, providing essential vitamins, fiber, and nutrients, and their natural sugars are generally not a cause for concern when consumed in moderation.
