So here’s the deal. I don’t judge. I don’t tell people how to parent because… glass houses and all that. But what I do want to do is put information out there, as unpopular as it might be, so parents can make INFORMED choices. So stick with me through this long post.
This is one of the hardest things for me to watch. Here’s the situation. I see people posting about all the behavioral issues they are dealing with, and the next post is a picture of their sweet child drinking a Gatorade with a sucker. And I just feel sad that I didn’t share what I know with that person. I see the shelves in stores PACKED with candy and food for upcoming holidays that are going to lead to really bad days after consumption.
So here’s the truth. Artificial color is one of the most hidden problems in our diet. If it’s possible to pick something that causes more behavioral problems in kids, this is it.
It’s not worth it.
Yes it takes more work to read labels, find alternatives, make changes, but you can still give treats and cleaner options on special occasions. We teach the kids that THEY can say no thank you when offered a dumdum. THEY can make the decision themselves and know what is good for their bodies and what isn’t. It’s so important kids feel empowered with their body and health from a young age- it instills healthy habits early on that they will carry with them into adulthood when mommy isn’t there to say, “no you shouldn’t eat that.”
And y’all it’s not just in candy- pickles!! Like really?!
😮😮😮 TOP 4 PETROLEUM BASED SNACKS THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ADHD, NERVOUS SYSTEM, BLOOD, AND KIDNEY DAMAGE 😮😮😮
Are you unknowingly giving your child petroleum-based snacks? 🤔
Most companies market unhealthy products that contain cancer causing artificial ingredients to petroleum directly to children. 😤😤 These ingredients can cause all kinds of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and hyperactivity/ADHD.
Lets take a closer look at petroleum. 👀 Petroleum is the same ingredient that is used for oil and gas. 💁🏼♀️ The FDA has admitted that ingestion is typically under the “concern threshold.” Well, I am not letting my child or myself ingest this nor do I trust their “concern threshold.” Why is any amount of petroleum good??
If you see Yellow 5 and Red 40 as part of the ingredients, chances are these are made from petroleum. They’ve been found to cause hyperactivity in children, cancer, allergic reactions, headaches, hypersensitivity, obesity, ADD/ADHD, chromosomal damage, hives, asthma, diabetes, eczema, and insomnia.
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 TOP 4 POPULAR CHILDREN’S SNACKS MADE WITH CANCER CAUSING PETROLEUM PRODUCTS 🚨
1. POP TARTS
The fruity Pop-Tarts are marketed as being made with “real fruit,” but its ingredients list shows that there’s only 10% of fruit inside each pop tart. The rest comes from toxic ingredients like GMOs, artificial colors, and sugar. The other harmful ingredient is TBHQ which is made from petroleum causing cellular dysfunction.
2. FRUIT SNACKS
By looking at the packaging of fruit snacks, one might think these are healthy. In fact, they even state “Fat Free” and “Made with real fruit.” However, it couldn’t be further from the truth. They are loaded with GMO sugar and contain Red 3 artificial dye. Red 3 is a petroleum product, commonly used food coloring, also known as E127 or Erythrosine.
3. M&M’S
Did you know that these colorful little candies have been scientifically linked to hyperactivity and diabetes in children? These bright colors are made from dangerous and very toxic artificial dyes. Blue #2, Blue #1, Yellow #5, Red #40 are all petroleum based products that showed to cause brain tumors in lab rats and other abnormal cell development.
4. CHEETOS
Cheetos are loaded with ingredients such as methyl benzoate and ethyl methylphenylglicidate. Additionally, the artificial dye Yellow 6 is responsible for that bright yellow color. Yellow 6 comes from petroleum.”
Be empowered with choices and information!!!!
