According to Joel Fuhrman M.D, these are the five most dangerous foods to feed your child. By the way, they also happen to be the five most dangerous foods to feed an adult!
1. Butter and Cheese – full of saturated fat and fat delivered chemical pollutants
2. Potato Chips and French Fries – rich in trans fat, salt, and carcinogenic acrylamides
3. Doughnuts and other trans fat – containing sweets – rich in trans fat, sugar, and other artificial substances
4. Sausages, hot dogs, and other luncheon meats – containg N-nitroso compounds that are potent carcinogens
5. Pickled, smoked, or barbequed meats – places you at risk of both stomach cancer and high blood pressure

Pop’ems Stuffed Baked Apples
Serves: 4Ingredients:
- 4 large apples
- 12 Dr. Fuhrman’s Date Nut Pop’ems, any flavor
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
Instructions: Using an apple corer, or sharp knife, core the apples. Squeeze three pop’ems together to form a log. Stuff the pop’ems in the center of apple. Place apples in a baking pan, and sprinkle apples with cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Bake at 375 degrees for 1/2 hr.
Another idea is to core an apple and spoon almond butter, cashew butter or peanut butter into the center and top with raisins and/or unsweetened coconut, or place a date/coconut roll in the center, instead of the nut butter. These may also be either baked or left as is.

Hi, What about goats cheese and milk?
I agree with the processed stuff being a massve no no, but there are so many organic and natural products that are good for the children IE the comment above about grass fed organic butter.
Saturated fat is Not the enemy! Chemicals are!
Wayne,
Animal protein in general in significant quantities is the issue, on top of the chemicals. Saturated fat is not a health promoting substance.
I disagree with the butter comment…at least organic butter. They need it. But the rest of this is right onthe money! Cheers
They NEED it? Where did humans aquire organic butter before cattle were domesticated ????? Lucky our species survived…or not!
