In order to improve the sweetness, in the candied fruit, ice cream, pastries and cookies and other foods may be added to the excessive saccharin, bring gastrointestinal discomfort, but also cause metabolic problems in the liver, the hydrolysis of sodium saccharin will also be the formation of carcinogenic threat of cyclic beta-amino acids.
2, a large number of trans fatty acid hazards
Most of the pastries on the market, ice cream, cookies ingredients list contains ? It is not a good idea to use the same type of technology as you would use in your own business. and? The first is the "vegetable butter", which contains a lot of trans fatty acids, and the second is the "vegetable butter".
This is the first time that I've ever seen a product that contains a large amount of trans fatty acids, and too much of it can damage a child's intelligence, jeopardize the heart, and lead to infertility.
3, high salt, high sugar hazards
plums, dried tofu and other snacks contain a lot of salt or sugar, will increase the burden on the kidneys, and the cardiovascular system is a threat. In the European and American markets, the indication ? Sugar-free? The company's website is a good place to find out more about the company's products and services. No salt? The food will be more popular.
4, the danger of excessive preservatives

Such as benzoic acid, potassium sorbate and nitrite, etc., excessive intake will inhibit bone growth to a certain extent, jeopardizing the health of the kidneys and liver.
5, excessive color hazards
Some food production units in pursuit of small food? The first time I saw this was when I was a kid. Good-looking, often excessive use of synthetic coloring, such as puffed food, candy and so on. However, the risk of synthetic coloring to the human body is higher than that of natural coloring. Consumers who consume large quantities of food with excessive coloring content for a long period of time or at one time may suffer from symptoms such as diarrhea, which is especially harmful to the healthy development of children. Natural coloring is safe but costly, and many companies can't afford to use it.
Snacks? Children

Nowadays, the market is filled with a lot of cheap and problematic snacks, and the main customer group of these problematic snacks is those children. Stay away from the problem snacks, a reasonable choice of healthy food, do not let the children's childhood health shadow.
First, the problem of snacks everywhere
1, the school around the store a lot of junk snacks
Many schools around the kiosk, these open in the school near the kiosk is usually not even set up, poor health, but the students seem to care about this, once the class are crowded into. Some of the snacks sold near the elementary school store a lot of packaging does not indicate the health license number, and some of the goods marked with such a number in the national food quality and safety network can not be found, and there are some snacks and even the date of production are not labeled.
2, with a small toy snacks hidden safety
Now many vendors in front of the school sales of small food packages are accompanied by a number of small toys to attract children to buy. But the investigation found that the inclusion of a variety of small toys in the bag, small food hygiene and safety hazards. Some elementary school students in the purchase of food after opening the bag, it will come out of the same plastic small toys. And some plastic toys simply do not have any outer packaging, directly and food together.
3, bulk snacks packaged into imported
Imported snacks in Guangzhou streets and lanes of the store, still selling a lot of unlabeled imported snacks, the store has no intention of shelving, and at the same time, the public also? The public is also? , most of them are not clear about the specific reference to the Chinese label. In some of the Imported snacks? Wholesale sources, the reporter to wholesale customers as an unannounced visit, some wholesale distribution and even suggested that the reporter to print their own packaging labels, the wholesale of bulk snacks disguised as imported snacks. The reporter also found that in the vicinity of these wholesale distribution, there are large and small label printing factory stores, these stores also clearly told the reporter, ? Labels can be printed at will?
Children snacking on the many safety hazards1, starch
The main ingredients of the small food is starch, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and flavors, which nutrients simply can not meet the needs of human growth and development, and, various types of ? The main reason for this is the fact that it is a very important part of the process of developing a new product. More than chemical synthesis of industrial products, in addition to increase appetite, there is no benefit to the body. For example, saccharin is refined from coal tar, it is in addition to the sweetness, a little heat is not, and finally need to be discharged from the urine, but to the kidneys to increase the burden.
2, coloring
The coloring in small foods, although said to be ? food coloring? Since chronic poisoning is not easy to be detected, it is more harmful. If you consume fake and shoddy small food, its harm is more serious.
3, plastic packaging and attached toys
Small food packaged in plastic, although the plastic itself is non-toxic, but in the process of production, printing and packaging will be infiltrated with heavy metals, heavy metals deposited in the brain will seriously affect the intellectual development of people. Therefore, some regions of China's specialty foods can not be exported, the main reason is that the heavy metal content in the plastic packaging exceeds the standard.
Packaging in the card, small toys, the pattern is also color printing, printing oil in the lead will make people produce lead poisoning, and lead poisoning is very difficult to cure.
4, bacteria
does not meet the health standards of small food in the colony index (per unit of measurement of the total number of bacteria) seriously exceeded the standard, so the harm is great. So far, there have been many cases of children's poisoning caused by small foods and beverages, but the media seldom give exposure and report. Because of the many hazards of small food, so the country has no longer issued for small food? Green Food Certificate? In addition, there are many other food products, including instant noodles, that are no longer certified as green. Instant noodles.
5, preservatives
Any kind of small food is added with preservatives, used to prevent food spoilage. There are two main preservatives: one is? sorbic acid? and one is? Nitrite? Sorbic acid side effects, but the price is expensive; nitrite cheap side effects. You think about it, a producer who wants to make money will use which kind of preservative?
Children eat snacks of the 3 principles1, do not let the snacks overrun the main
We know that the human digestive system works in a regular manner. When eating a certain amount of food, the stomach will be full. At this point, we will have no desire for food. After a period of time (generally 2 to 4 hours), the stomach is basically emptied of food, the stomach and intestines to speed up peristalsis, gastric juice, intestinal fluid and bile to speed up the secretion, which gives the brain a signal? I'm hungry. At this point, people will appear hungry, we need to eat. But for children who snack incessantly, their stomachs are constantly filled with food and can never be emptied. Thus, when it comes to the main meal, they lack appetite and eat very little or even nothing at all. Since they eat too little at the main meal, they will soon be hungry again and they will have to snack again. Over time, the normal working rhythm of the human digestive system is destroyed, digestive dysfunction, will inevitably affect their physical health.
2, rationalize the time to eat snacks
Between the two meals, nine or ten o'clock in the morning and three or four o'clock in the afternoon, more than two hours away from the main meal time. As children's metabolism is faster than that of adults, at this time, they may experience a slight sense of hunger. If they can let them eat some snacks in moderation, it will play a role in preventing hunger and increasing nutrition, and will not affect the situation of the main meal eating.
3, choose nutritious snacks
To choose nutritious food as snacks, such as milk, yogurt, fruit, cake, meat floss, beef jerky and so on. A variety of potato chips, dried plums, jelly and other food nutritional value is relatively low, should not be long-term children's snacks.
