and now more about the ingredients contained in the above cookies!

1. Palm oil – Increases cholesterol levels and contributes to the development of atherosclerosis. Palm oil belongs to the group of vegetable oils containing large quantities of so-called saturated fats. A distinctive feature of saturated fatty acids from plant sources is their high resistance to environmental influences. Products containing them are stored for a long time without acquiring a rancid taste. In this regard, palm oil is actively used in the production of margarine and blended oils to improve the presentation and increase the shelf life of products.

2. Ammonium bicarbonate – E503 Hazardous to health!

3. Potassium tartrate – E336 antioxidant (antioxidant). Approved for use in the Russian Federation

4. Sodium bicarbonate – E500 regular soda

5. Vegetable fats – Vegetable fat, or salomas, is chemically processed vegetable oil. As a result of this processing (hydrogenation), it becomes a hard fat, similar to butter or beef tallow. Partially hydrogenated fats are also called trans fats.

In this case
all the beneficial properties
of vegetable oil are lost; such fat is HARMFUL! Promotes weight gain and, in general, has a much worse effect on health than natural animal fats.

6. Calcium Citrate – E333 Calcium citrate is not only an emulsifier for various food ingredients, but also a buffer of acidity and alkalinity, and can make the consistency of the product more dense. This salt is added to sweets and fizzy drinks.

7. Calcium phosphate (monosubstituted) - in the food industry as an acidity regulator, flour and bread improver, stabilizer, hardener, texturizer, leavening agent; anti-caking additive, water-retaining agent.

8. Calcium orthophosphate – E341 Causes stomach upset.

9. Food phosphatide concentrate (lecithin E322) – May cause allergic reactions

10. Dextrose is a natural sucrose found in fruits and honey. Adding dextrose to food as a sugar substitute reduces calories but may be harmful to teeth. Consumption should be reduced. They are not toxic, but consuming more may be unsafe or harmful.

These are the cookies they sell in our country. None of them should be given at 5-6 months (as written on the package)! It’s better to give it regular drying! Once again I am convinced that there is nothing better than home-cooked food! Bon appetit! And be healthy!

Cookies are a sweet dessert, especially for children under one year of age. Mom needs to try to prepare a high-quality and healthy product herself.

All about the benefits and harms of the product for the baby’s body

Flour products contain many B vitamins, PP, potassium, phosphorus, iron and organic acids. Cookies are a source of energy for children. The dish is enriched with useful substances by additional components that are added during baking - berries, nuts, dried fruits. The product contains a lot of calories - 100 g contains 400 kcal. It all depends on the ingredients.

Introducing cookies into your diet too early can be harmful.

1. There are no hypoallergenic cookies. Therefore, any kind of them can cause an allergic reaction.
2. Sugar interferes with the absorption of vitamins, which are so necessary for a growing body.
3. The vegetable protein of cereal plants - gluten - is very often not tolerated by the body of young children. Therefore, a few minutes of joy for a child from a product can result in problems with the digestive system.
4. When foods with added sugar are introduced early, the child's sense of taste changes. In the future, it will be more difficult to teach him to eat healthy.

Manufacturers offer a wide range of children's cookies that can be added to any dish or taken with you on the road. In order not to harm your health, you need to know at what months you are allowed to give cookies to your child.

The best time to introduce cookies is considered to be after 12 months. Due to the whims and refusal of porridge for children under one year old, you should not replace it with cookies. You can offer fruits or berries.

2. Straws are popular, which are made from flour, water and a small amount of fat. But in order to get a brown color, the straws are fried and treated with alkali. Therefore, the product should not be given to a child with low stomach acidity.
3. Oatmeal cookies contain a little fat and contain oats, which are so beneficial for the child's body. From the wide variety of oatmeal cookies, you need to make a quality and safe choice. The color should be pale, without a glossy sheen. The smell should clearly capture the taste of oatmeal.
4. Sugar shortbread cookies contain a lot of fat and sugar. High-quality cookies should have a smooth surface, a clear pattern and a ruddy color. If the edges are burnt, then you should discard the product. It is better to choose butter cookies, without additives (for example, strawberry or strawberry). It should not be given to children who are prone to rapid weight gain.
5. Many parents buy crackers for their child, thinking that they do little harm. They contain margarine and various food additives. The product turns out to be fatty and high in calories. Crackers with salt interfere with the proper functioning of metabolic processes in the body and cause thirst. It is better not to give them to a child under one year old.
6. You should not give a child under one year old cookies with filling.

Chocolate glaze, jams, jellies can disrupt the normal functioning of the baby’s digestive organs and endocrine system.
