Anything eaten in high amounts can be harmful to your body, especially empty calorie type foods (candy, cake, soda). If possible, it’s best to avoid them as much as possible except for special occasions and holidays, etc.

My toddler is almost 3 and she hasn’t eaten candy ever. She eats tons of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, dairy products, chicken, fish, and water. Juice isn’t the best drink for kids either. The only benefit it provides is vitamin c (which your child gets from healthy foods and a multi vitamin), otherwise, they are just drinking sugar water, which can be harmful to their health.
