Research has not found that sucrose (table sugar) affects kids’ behavior, and CHUCKIE® has less than 10g of added sugar plus the same calcium content as milk. Here is the truth behind the three most common chocolate milk myths.
Myth 1: “Nakaka-hyper daw!”
Not quite! Research has not found that sucrose (sugar) affects kids’ behavior.*
A study published in The New England Journal of Medicine put this to the test:*
- Who: 48 children aged 3 to 10.
- What: Each child spent three weeks on a diet high in sucrose and three weeks each on two control diets. A control diet is the comparison diet which was low in sucrose.
- Double-blind: neither the families nor the researchers knew which diet a child was on, so their expectations could not affect the results.
-
Result, no significant differences: the children’s behavior and test scores were about the same on every diet.
Myth 2: “Maraming sugar daw!”
Not true! CHUCKIE® has less than 10g of added sugar.
- Part of its sugar comes from lactose, the natural sugar in milk.
-
Lactose is less likely to cause cavities than table sugar and helps the body absorb calcium.
DID YOU KNOW? CHUCKIE® is Green under DepEd Order No. 13, with less than 10g of added sugar and less than 120mg of sodium.***
Myth 3: “Unhealthy daw!”
Not true! CHUCKIE® has the same calcium content as milk, plus iron, zinc and vitamin D.**
