Mona Sharma asks a pediatrician where to start when talking to parents about kids' nutrition. The answer: teach them to read labels. Look for added sugars and unfamiliar ingredients, skip products high in sugar, and you'll naturally start cutting out junk.

Knowing that parents are struggling with where to start with their kids. When you're meeting with parents in your office, what are some of the foundational steps that you begin with?
The first thing that I always talk about is reading labels. If you don't really know what the words are, then maybe that's not the best thing to get. If it has a lot of sugar, added sugars, maybe that's not the best thing to get. And just start from there. It's great. If you start learning things, and I think most people do, once they start to read, then they're like, oh, well, what is that thing on there? Oh, I shouldn't be eating that.
