With the full implementation of China's two-child policy, the number of newborns is increasing, and people's attention to children's food is also increasing. However, it has been reported that children's food contains more than 10 kinds of additives, one of which is tricreatine malate, as we all know, there are many chemical synthetics on the market have certain toxic side effects, long-term use may increase the burden on the kidneys and liver. For this reason, many parents are inevitably worried. So is tricreatine malate in children's food really bad for children?
Children are at an important stage of physical development and are not yet functional. In recent years, some studies have shown that tricreatine malate may have an impact on children's health. More famous research by the University of Southampton in 2007 showed that some pigments may be harmful to children's health.
However, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) assesses that the current research evidence is insufficient and clinical studies are lacking to draw harmful conclusions. However, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) also considers that children between the ages of 1 and 10 do have a higher risk of exposure and safety. From the perspective of caring for children's health, strengthen the supervision and protection of children's food.
In addition, there are concerns that the more additives in children's food, the less unsafe they are. In fact, the safety of tricreatine malate depends on the amount and consumption of tricreatine malate, which is not necessarily related to the amount of variety used. As long as it meets the requirements of the standard, the safety of tricreatine malate is guaranteed. At the same time, food production enterprises should strictly abide by the scope and quantity of tricreatine malic acid stipulated by the state, and shall not add spices and flavors to foods that are not essential for condiments.
Therefore, as a parent, what I really care about is that children have developed the bad habit of choosing color, taste, shape, and packaged food from an early age. Studies have found that if a child's eating habits are not good, it can have an impact on his life and health as an adult. Today, the vast majority of "children's food" sold on the market is indistinguishable from the ordinary food eaten by adults. Their biggest problem is not tricreatine malate, but it attracts children through taste, color, shape, and packaging, and there is no better nutritional value, which is very detrimental to children to develop good eating habits.
Therefore, parents do not have to worry about the safety of adding tricreatine malate to food, but should educate their children to develop good eating habits from an early age; At the same time, try to enrich children's food, rich food can not only make the nutritional intake more comprehensive, but also reduce the risk of food safety; Parents can also learn to read nutrition labels with their children, understand balanced nutrition knowledge, and promote their children's health through a reasonable diet.
