18 common foods that children should not eat too much no matter how much they like them

Salt

Children should not consume more than 5 grams of salt per day. If children eat too much salt, it is likely to cause high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, brain cancer, etc.

Strong tea

Strong tea contains a large amount of tannic acid, which will combine with the iron in the human body to form ferric tannic acid. The body has a hard time absorbing this acid, so it can cause iron deficiency. Iron deficiency in babies can cause anemia and their intelligence can also be damaged.

saccharin

Nowadays, saccharin is added to the candies and drinks that children eat. Research results show that eating too much saccharin can cause diseases of blood vessels, heart, lungs, and peripheral nerves, and affect the functions of the stomach, liver, bronchi, bladder, and other organs.

Animal fat

If children eat too much animal fat, it will not only easily lead to obesity, but also affect their absorption of calcium. Over time, it may lead to calcium deficiency in the human body, and then lead to various diseases.

jelly

Jelly does not extract sugar from fruit juice. It is a mixture of sticky substances, acids, pigments and saccharin. Although some jellies also have nutrients added, they are toxic to the human body. Eating too much jelly can affect human development and damage intelligence.

Cola

Coke contains a certain amount of caffeine, which can stimulate the central nervous system and have a bad effect on the human body. Many of children's tissues and organs are not yet fully developed, and their ability to resist and detoxify is still weak, so the problem may be more serious. It’s better to drink less Coke.

orange

Although oranges are rich in nutrients, they contain lycopene. If you eat too many oranges, you may develop "carotene skin disease", abdominal pain and diarrhea, and even bone diseases. Therefore, the upper limit of oranges that children can eat per day is 4 medium-sized oranges.

Popcorn

Popcorn is high in lead. Once it enters the human body, lead will damage the nerves, blood, digestive system and hematopoiesis. Children's detoxification system is not yet fully developed, and eating popcorn frequently may lead to chronic lead poisoning. Symptoms of chronic lead poisoning are: loss of appetite, diarrhea, irritability, purple gums, abnormal development, etc.

Lentils

Lentils contain a special gene that can cause goiter in the human body and prompt the body to excrete thyroxine, leading to thyroxine deficiency. When thyroxine is deficient, the body will automatically increase thyroid secretion. Children in the developmental stage have very fragile constitutions, so they should not eat too many lentils.

chewing gum

Chewing gum contains plasticizer, which is a toxic substance; in addition, chewing gum also contains carbolic acid metabolites, which are also harmful to the human body. In addition, the way children chew gum is usually unhygienic, which may cause gastroenteritis.

Instant noodles

Instant noodles contain food coloring and preservatives, which are harmful to the human body. Eating instant noodles frequently can cause malnutrition in children and affect their development.
