Dr. Ana-Maria Temple realized her children's eczema came from processed and sugary foods after hearing a speaker discuss sugar's effects. She cleared her pantry that night, tossing Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Pop-Tarts, and juice boxes. Her Eczema Transformation Program focuses on dietary changes to improve eczema.
But it was on that Tuesday morning, 30 in the morning, freezing my butt off in a first grader's classroom, that the fog lifted and I understood the root cause of my children's disease. All that the lady talked about was sugar, and I thought that because they're having strawberries in their lunch and broccoli at dinner, that they're doing fine, that's not going to be a problem. Anyway, once I started realizing what I was actually feeding my children, I came home that night after clinic in my stilettos and I went into the pantry and I threw out the Cinnamon Toast Crunch, the Pop-Tarts, the Toaster Strudels, the orange crackers with peanut butter, the juice boxes, the chocolate the mac and cheese, you name a garbage my children were eating.
