Study: Toddlers getting too much sugar in diet

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- America's toddlers are getting too much sugar, according to a new study.

Toddlers from 19 to 23 months are getting 7 teaspoons of added sugar a day - from cookies, drinks and ready-to-eat cereals.

That's more than in many candy bars.

Kids eating too much sugar can develop obesity, high cholesterol, and elevated blood pressure.
