Why should not the baby eat more sweets?

It will cause a curse for the occurrence of certain diseases in adulthood; eating too much sugar will aggravate it. The burden of islet in metabolism will cause diabetes to occur for a long time; sweets can also consume vitamins in the body, reduce the secretion of saliva and digestive glands, and increase gastric acid, causing indigestion; if the amount of sugar consumed exceeds the total amount of food 16%% -18% of the baby will make the baby's calcium metabolism disorders, a direct impact on the baby's growth and development; the baby to eat sweets before eating, will inhibit the appetite center, causing the baby anorexia.

Second, sugar is converted from starch. During the processing of starch into sugar, vitamin B1 is almost completely destroyed.

It is the phenomenon of fatigue, loss of appetite and so on.

Third, sugar is easier to get dental caries. Because the oral cavity is a multi-bacterial environment, some bacteria can use sucrose to synthesize polysaccharides, which in turn can form a highly viscous bacterial membrane that adheres to the tooth surface. Not easy to remove, bacteria can multiply to form some organic acids and enzymes, especially Lactobacillus produces large amounts of lactic acid, acts directly on teeth, can decalcify teeth, soften teeth, enzymes can dissolve protein in tooth tissue, in acid and Under the joint action of enzymes, the hardness and structure of the teeth are easily damaged, and dental caries are particularly prone to occur.

Fourth, eating too much sugar, in addition to the baby body effects, but also increase the baby's blood sugar, and accordingly reduce the osmotic pressure of body fluids, so that the lens convex deformation, increased diopter, resulting in myopia.
