Treats should be taken only occasionally. Nothing happens because every so often they eat a bauble, but it should not become a habit, since although have created goodies that do not cause tooth decay, one of the main concerns of parents, They are still a food that does not provide nutrients.
Researchers from the University Institute of Food Engineering for Development of the Polytechnic University of Valencia have developed sugar cloud foam that does not cause tooth decay and fiber, which favors intestinal transit.
In addition, the sugars that are commonly used to make sweets have been replaced by another type of sugar (isomaltulose), so they are low glycemic and insulinic, that is, they do not cause blood glucose spikes.
They wanted to create a healthy treat, although I think it's confusing to talk about healthy treats. Let's say they have an additional benefit over traditional sweets, since they prevent cavities from occurring while oligofructose, a sweet-tasting fiber, helps improve intestinal transit.
Anyway, sweets provide empty calories so they are not adequate in the usual diet of the kids, but as an exception, on the occasion of some special celebration.
They provide energy value, but their nutritional contribution is practically nil, in addition to containing additives and reducing appetite if taken before meals. It is preferable to choose other foods that the organism of the small ones needs to grow healthily as fruits, dairy or cereals.
