The harm of children eating jelly
1, jelly affects children's appetite.
Jelly with essence and pigment sold in the market is rich in flavor and generally has high sweetness. If you eat a lot of jelly before meals, it will affect your child's appetite, and then hinder the digestion and absorption of food and nutrition. In addition, eating more jellies containing a variety of food additives will have adverse effects on children's intelligence, physical development and reproductive system.
2. Jelly is easy to become a foreign body in trachea.
Because jelly is a soft and elastic food, it is easy to break and not easy to dissolve. Children often suck jelly and talk while eating and playing, which is easy to cause soft jelly to be sucked into the trachea. After the soft gel enters the trachea, it can deform with the contraction of the trachea, and it is not easy to be discharged, forming a blockage, which makes the child suffocate and die.
