If the daily required amount for child is 1000 calories, only 100 should come from sugar. For example, an eight-ounce juice box contains about 25 grams of sugar, the equivalent of 100 calories. By consuming just one serving of juice, this meets the daily allotted amount. It is also important to review children’s nutritional needs and what their calo- ric intake should be with a nutritionist. 51
