A piece of fresh fruit is healthier for children than sugary fruit juice, experts tell @washingtonpost. Fruit juice lacks fiber and can contribute to tooth decay. Dr. Steven Abrams @stableisotope says a little bit is ok, but whole fruit is better.

How many times have you seen a kid in the ER for “bloody stools” when it was really just the dye from hot Cheetos?! https://t.co/QqmewvUhwZ
