Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that regularly offering sweet fruit or soft drinks to children can lead to "milk avoidance," as they may prefer the sweetness of those options over milk. Restricting access to tasty foods or offering bribes is not an effective or sustainable way to encourage healthy eating habits. Adding salt or sugar to foods may make them more palatable, but it does not improve their nutritional value.
