Did you/do you allow your child under 2 to have...?

When your child was, or if they still are; did you give them sugar and tons of juice before they were/are 2? Me and my husband have the rule of no refined sugars, or artifical sweetners until she is at least 2. I will use a very small bit of natural sweetners (like agave necture from cacti) in some reciepes, but overall we leave sugar completely to the side. The same thing with Juice. She eats a good bit of fruit a day, or at least something made of fruit. I really dont see the reason for her to drink it. Water and milk are sooo much better; and I dont want her to be one of those kids addicted to it. I am not judging I am just curious. I really thought most people thought similarly to us, but I have found that we are more of the odd ball for not allowing sweets, and juices. Also nothing fried, anything containing high fructos corn syrup, or hydrogenated soy bean oil. All of them are terrible for you. She's 11 months by the way. We will let her have treats when shes older and can ask.
