FOODS NOT TO GIVE TO YOUR CHILDREN

Today I am following through on a request by one young mum as to which are the worst foods to give your children. I did state in my original response to her that this would involve quite a long list and several posts!
The first food that comes to mind are hot dogs.  Years ago I read a quote from Dr. Samuel Epstein, a renowned author & oncologist, that has stuck in my mind- ' if you feed your children 3-5 hot dogs per week you are increasing their rate of getting cancer by 300%.'  It is the sodium nitrate that is the worst offender here so I would go on to add that cheerios & indeed most manufactured meats are best avoided.

Recently, I cringed at a television add where  a pizza company was offering a new product- pizza's with hot dogs in the crust. These 'industrial novelities' are not fit for human consumption.
