Children nowadays are happier than we used to be. When we were young, we had a lot of snacks, such as jelly, candy, cookies, and potato chips. However, adults do not want children to eat too much of these things because cookies are made with additives. But when children make a fuss, they still follow their lead, and adults sometimes buy cookies to coax them. But children are not suitable to eat too many cookies. Now let's talk about the harm of children eating cookies.
Firstly, the main components of cookies are starch and excessive saccharin, which can cause metabolic problems in the digestive system and liver. Biscuits also contain trans fatty acids, which we know can cause cardiovascular disease. If it is trans fatty acids, their chances are 2 to 4 times higher than saturated fatty acids. Trans fatty acids can also induce type 2 diabetes, asthma and other diseases. If children consume excessive amounts of trans fatty acids, it can harm the heart and even lead to infertility.
Secondly, not only snacks like cookies, but many snacks also have these hazards. Research shows that snacks account for 70% of substandard food, indicating the extent of the harm caused by snacks. More and more businesses are using excessive or even illegal additives in pursuit of taste and color.
Parents should learn to teach their children to eat snacks wisely, often including fruits and nuts that have not been treated with salt; Eat dark chocolate and beef slices with minimal additives appropriately; We do not recommend eating candied fruits or fried foods as they can increase overweight and obesity.
