Popular junk foods that are ruining your child's health
Sugary breakfast cereals
Children's cereals are unhealthy due to sugars, empty calories, and minimal nutritional value; ingredient labels must be scrutinized.
Instant noodles
These seemingly convenient meals can contain excessive sodium and lack essential nutrients. Their white noodles are low in dietary fibre, and the flavourings often contain harmful chemicals.
Potato chips
Chips contain harmful substances, cancer-linked acrylamide, and high blood pressure.
Chicken nuggets or chicken fingers
Children's fast food contains additives like TBHQ and Dimethylpolysiloxane, causing adverse effects; homemade alternatives prefer whole-grain breadcrumbs.
Sugary drinks
Sugary beverages like sodas, fruit juices, and energy drinks lack nutritional value, causing weight gain and diabetes risk.
