The Delay and Pray® podcast usually focuses on adults, but I want to discuss how daily doses of sugar and white flour and poorly produced processed foods affect our children and grandchildren.

You will be astounded at the often disguised unhealthy ingredients we are putting into their sweet little bodies.

I have a terrific doctor on the show today, Dr. Brandon Vinzant, who is part of 'The Wellness Way' network of doctors. We discuss all of this and give you great advice and alternatives to consider during the holiday season.
