Jelly also contains a lot of sugar and additives, which can easily lead to high blood sugar in diabetic patients after excessive consumption, which is not conducive to controlling the disease. In addition, it is not recommended for children under 5 years old to eat jelly, because jelly contains preservatives, whitening agents, flavors, pigments, sweeteners and food thickeners and other additives that are not conducive to physical development.
Although preservatives can play a role in preservation and antisepsis, excessive consumption will endanger children's health. In addition, jelly is insoluble in water and elastic. When children suck jelly hard, they may accidentally inhale into the trachea, which will affect the ventilation of the trachea. This is the most dangerous, which may cause suffocation and threaten the life safety of children. If children really want to eat jelly, they can eat less. Parents should be around when children eat jelly to avoid accidents such as aspiration.
