Sometimes it\u2019s easy to just reach for that bag of chips, package of cookies, or any other processed food when your child is hungry. Maybe they are crying at the grocery because they want fruit roll-up snacks and you give in to make them stop. The truth is that many of these foods have cancer-causing ingredients,<\/strong> among other chemicals that can be detrimental to a child\u2019s future health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy snacks<\/a>\u00a0are important for a child. If children can discern what is healthy and what isn\u2019t at a young age, this conditions them to make healthy choices<\/a>\u00a0throughout their lives. It may require a little more effort (and you may have to put up with some crying), but it will benefit them in the long run. The following are the five cancer-causing snacks you should never feed your kids.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Pop Tarts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let the \u201cBaked with Real Fruit\u201d note entice you. Read the nutrition and ingredient labels<\/a>\u00a0and you\u2019ll find that you can\u2019t pronounce most of the ingredients. Corn syrup, soybeans, palm oil, dextrose, high fructose corn syrup<\/a>, and artificial flavors have all been linked to sugar addiction, diabetes<\/a>, and liver problems in children.<\/strong> Even that \u201creal fruit\u201d is sprayed with pesticides <\/strong>and grown with GMOs<\/strong>. Don\u2019t be fooled by these!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Goldfish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Goldfish are common in many households. They are said to be made with \u201cwhole grains\u201d and \u201creal cheddar,\u201d but look at the bag or carton to see why they should be out of your kid\u2019s diet. So many nutrients are eliminated in the processing of these Goldfish that they have to be enriched with fake nutrients <\/strong>that the body can\u2019t properly absorb. Finally, we have the vegetable oils.<\/strong> After being heated to unsafe temperatures, these oils are treated with petroleum solvents<\/strong>. Then they are colored to make the odor more pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Teddy Grahams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These little bear snacks are laced with the chemical preservative, TBHQ<\/strong>, which has been linked to stomach cancer<\/strong>\u00a0in lab rats, fragment DNA,<\/strong> and can damage human lung and umbilical cells<\/strong>. Kids who eat these snacks can develop ADHD, anxiety<\/a>, and symptoms of restlessness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Kid Cuisine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These frozen meals<\/a>\u00a0appeal to kids because they are often adorned with the newest cartoon movie characters. Corn, macaroni & cheese, chocolate pudding, and chicken nuggets do not equate to a nutritious meal. Everything in this box is processed and filled with GMOs<\/a>.<\/strong> Read the label to discover all the trans fats, hydrogenated oils, Red 40, Blue 1 & 2, and Yellow 6, among a bunch of other chemicals. <\/strong>These microwave meals<\/a>\u00a0may save time in the kitchen, but it can shave time off life in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: Fruit Snacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may want to lower your expectation on the \u201cfruit\u201d aspect of this snack. A package of these is not the same as an apple, not by a long shot. The most commonly used color in these fruit gummies is Red 3 or erythrosine.<\/strong> This chemical is unsafe to use on your skin, yet it is ok to put inside your body? Just saying\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always best to know what you are putting inside your bodies, especially when it comes to the health and future of your children. While healthy eating may require a bit more effort, it is worth it in the long run.<\/p>\n
