Sweets Disrupt Children’s Sense of Hunger and Fullness
A habit of eating sweets formed from infancy gradually suppresses the natural sense of hunger — the child’s brain begins to crave only sweet foods. The use of sweeteners in products leads to disruption of the gut microbiota and may cause allergic reactions.
Obesity reduces the body's ability to feel full. Harmful food components, combined with chronic stress (elevated cortisol levels), contribute to fat accumulation. Over time, dysbiosis develops in the intestines, and harmful bacteria begin to “demand” more food. The brain urges the child to consume increasing amounts of flour-based and sweet foods. This leads to insulin resistance and eventually to diabetes.
Unfortunately, it is often the parents who encourage children to eat sweets. Try to protect your children from excessive consumption of sweets.
