Juliane nutritionist for Garcia, there's no denying the practicality of industrialized products. Ready or semiprontos, are quick and consumption have increased shelf-life. But do not outweigh the damage they cause to health in the long term. "During childhood, bone mass is formed, and the body is developing. For these processes occur, we need nutrients. The excess of additives, sugars and fats, and suppress the growth of children, still cause obesity, hypertension, and hyperactivity, "he explains.
The pediatrician and homeopath Cícero Alaor Kluppel says there is no scientific proof that the sweeteners are bad, but it is believed that in large quantities, can cause neurological disorders. "A small amount of aspartame sweetens much, so it is difficult to reach the toxic dose. Already a maximum dose of sodium cyclamate is 11 milligrams per kilogram. If a child take a can of soda, which has about 200 milligrams of the sweetener, and some consume more diet products, is likely to poison, "he explains.
