Gummies may have less sugar than a typical fruit snack, but they're still not a healthy choice for children. Their chewy texture can be bad for teeth, as the sugars coat the teeth and stay there for longer than in regular chewable vitamins, creating a breeding ground for bacteria that cause cavities. If you want to improve your child's health, it's best to avoid vitamins in the form of gummies. Vitamins and nutrients are essential for children's growth and development, but vitamins created with artificial colors, high-fructose corn syrup, and dipped in sugar crystals are not.
In fact, these vitamins can be harmful to children's growth and development. This is despite the packaging that labels them as healthy. The gelatin and pectin used to hold gummy vitamins together is where the problem begins. It sticks to the teeth and, combined with sweet sugar, causes tooth decay. Recent research shows that it can also cause additional problems. Unfortunately, your adorable gummy bears don't contain any vitamins or minerals that can be absorbed by our bodies.
Perhaps only chocolate gummies contain the smallest amount. And no, the jelly in gummies does not contain a significant amount of vitamins. The main objective of each manufacturer is to advertise their products in such a way that the customer is attracted to buy them. There are many famous brands that manufacture these supplements for children and claim that their supplements contain zinc, which can help improve children's eating habits. However, there isn't much scientific evidence available to support this claim.
Additionally, some brands advertise gummies as food while other brands refer to them as supplements. To make matters worse, gummies are naturally sticky and stay on your teeth for a long time, allowing bacteria to react with sugar for longer. The sad truth is that gummy candies are full of sugar and an excessive amount can be harmful to your health. We've been hearing about the benefits of eating vitamins in the form of gummies as a substitute for candy, but it's been said that gummies are healthier than regular candy. This is simply not true.
