I would hazard a guess that while this tip is from the book Beat Sugar Addiction Now! for Kids:
The Cutting-Edge Program That Gets Kids Off Sugar Safely, Easily, and Without Fights and Drama we all could use it as a guide. What I am specifically referring to is number four, where it states that when reading a nutrition label look for at least 3 grams of fiber per serving when the calorie count is over 80.

The modern American child's diet is awash in sugar—including mainstays such as juice, chocolate milk, sugary cereals, soda, energy drinks, and fast-food burgers and nuggets with added corn syrup and sweeteners, let alone candy and cookies prevalent at school parties and play dates.
Beat Sugar Addiction Now! for Kids gives parents a proven 5-step plan for getting and keeping their child off sugar. Bestselling author and noted physician Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum and pediatric nutrition specialist Deborah Kennedy, Ph.D., give parents a toolkit for avoiding the common pitfalls such as guilt and temper tantrums, managing the 5-step process successfully on a day-to-day basis, and getting their child emotionally, as well as physically, unhooked from sugary drinks, breakfast foods, snacks, and desserts, as well as "hidden" sugars in foods.
