Is "Better" Candy Better for Kids? A Halloween Candy Plan for Parents

Is "Better" Candy Better for Kids? A Halloween Candy Plan for Parents

Halloween candy looks different this year. Dye-free M&M's, Skittles, and Starburst have arrived, low sugar and protein candy are cropping up everywhere, and parents are asking a new question: which candy is okay for my child?

In this episode, pediatric dietitian Jill Castle explains what has changed in the candy aisle, what the research says about food dyes and children's behavior, and why low sugar candy can lead to a stomachache. She also explains why sorting candy into good and bad can backfire, and shares a Halloween candy plan for kids that covers the weeks before, the night itself, and the leftovers.

In this episode:

• Is dye-free candy better for kids?

• Do food dyes cause hyperactivity in children?

• Is low sugar or sugar free candy okay for kids?

• Is protein candy a healthier choice?

• Why labeling candy as good or bad can make kids want it more

• How to handle Halloween night, from dinner to the candy sort

• Candy guidelines for ages 5 to 8 and ages 9 to 14

• What to do with leftover Halloween candy
