Hazard 1: It affects the digestive function of the stomach

Because of the high fat content of chocolate, it is easy to feel full, and staying in the stomach for a long time will affect the normal diet of the baby. In addition, chocolate has no cellulose to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis. If it is eaten in large quantities for a long time, it is easy to cause digestive and absorption dysfunction in the baby's stomach.

Hazard 2: Causing anorexia

Eating chocolate before meals will reduce the hunger, affect the baby's normal diet, and cause picky eaters, leftovers and even anorexia. Babies who often eat chocolate or other snacks before meals can't eat at meals, and they are hungry after meals, but they always have snacks to fill their stomachs. In the long run, it will not only disturb the normal eating rules, but also affect the physical development.

Hazard 3: Affect the nervous system

A certain brand of chocolate ingredients list: white sugar, skimmed milk powder, cocoa butter, cocoa liquid, milk fat, refined edible vegetable oil, lactose, emulsifier (soybean phospholipid), edible spices, etc.

Chocolate ingredients contain exciting substances, and babies under 3 years old are prone to fidgeting and crying after eating them. Neonates metabolize caffeine for more than 3 hours, which will affect the baby's central nervous system for a long time.

Hazard 4: Formation of stones

Chocolate contains high oxalic acid. If chocolate is eaten together with high calcium foods such as formula milk, milk, shrimp skin and sesame paste, it is easy to combine into calcium oxalate, forming urinary calculi, affecting calcium absorption and interfering with baby's bone growth. Parents need to pay attention to this, not to mention the baby.

Hazard 5: Causing dental caries

Chocolate is not only sweet but also particularly sticky to teeth. If you eat it for a long time, eat it before going to bed, and don't pay attention to cleaning your teeth after eating, the residue hidden in the teeth will easily increase your baby's chances of getting dental caries.

Hazard 6: Reduce the taste

Chocolate is rich in flavor. If the baby prefers to eat chocolate, it will reduce his taste sensitivity, leading to his disinterest in other foods with normal taste, and his taste is just like chewing wax.

harm 7: lead to obesity

if the baby eats too much chocolate, he can't metabolize the calories, fat and sugar in it for a while, and it is easy to turn excess sugar into fat, which leads to obesity in children.

Hazard 8: Causing excessive internal heat and constipation

The climate in autumn and winter is dry, and chocolate is a hot food. Some children are prone to excessive internal heat and nosebleeds when eating chocolate during this period. The tannins contained in chocolate can coagulate protein and form substances that are not easy to digest, thus leading to constipation in children.
