Another scientific study conducted by a group of specialists from the United Kingdom has allowed scientists to reveal that the chewable vitamins that you traditionally give your children to maintain the optimal balance of essential trace elements in their bodies can seriously damage their health.

The sweetening ingredients that are added in order to make them more attractive to children have a truly devastating effect on the child's body, exposing him to the risk of developing obesity, diabetes, asthma, diarrhea, and other diseases. In support of this statement, scientists in particular cite an excerpt from a report on the study of one of the most popular vitamin supplements in the US.

According to the label, the vitamins of Disney Princess Gummies contain: corn syrup, sugar, grape juice concentrate, gelatin, modified corn starch, citric acid, lactic acid, purple concentrate, maltodextrin, beeswax, dicalcium phosphate, natural flavors, carrot juice, silicon dioxide , Attracts and some other substances. Half of this list carries with itself harm to human health, and especially the child. The producers of children's vitamins themselves know this, in particular, it should be mentioned that NatureSmart LLC and Rexall Sunset, Inc - two subsidiaries of Disney in 2010 agreed to pay slightly more than $ 2 million at the suit of the Federal Trade Commission, for using false statements about , That the vitamins they offer have a beneficial effect on the brain and eyesight of children.

Corn syrup with a high content of fructose, which is the main ingredient of most vitamin supplements, can cause caries, liver damage, obesity, diabetes and many other diseases.

In addition, the process of producing vitamins, during which corn is first processed into starch, and then into a syrup, usually involves the use of toxic chemicals. One of them, glutaraldehyde, is a balsamic liquid that can cause headaches, dizziness, burning sensation in the eyes, and asthma. In the production process, mercury is also actively used. As a result of the 2010 study, it was found that from one third to one half of children's vitamin complexes in small amounts contain this chemical element.
