This advice from Fraser Health may surprise you.
So how much Halloween candy is too much? If you're a kid, the answer is probably obvious — clearly, there's no such thing as "too much" for the trick-or-treating crowd — but parents may want to place limits.
"Halloween is a great opportunity to consider our relationship with food," said Dr. Cheryl Young, senior public health and preventive medicine resident at Fraser Health, in a press release from the health authority. "By not treating candy as something special or using it as a reward, we are helping to build healthy relationships with food, which are fostered from routines that promote mindfulness of your own internal hunger and fullness cues.
The thinking is that, when children can eat as much as they want, they will — for awhile — but the novelty will soon wear off. That doesn't mean parents should just ignore Halloween candy, mind you. After the "free-for-all" stage, Satter recommends that parents take over the Halloween loot, assuring their children they will still get candy in small amounts at meals and snack time. Return the stash when you feel your kids can manage it on their own.
