The Worst Foods For A Hyperactive Toddler Or Child

Cheetos And Cheese Snacks

Cheetos are brightly colored, crunchy, and incredibly tasty. Although delicious and oh-so-cheesy, eating Cheetos and other cheese snacks may cause long-term damage to the body. Cheetos and other cheese snacks contain food dye yellow 6, which has been associated with adrenal tumors. Specifically, the "Flamin' Hot" brand of Cheetos has been linked to gastritis, abdominal stress, and addiction or dependency in children.

Instead, parents should try giving their child organic cheese and non-GMO crackers to munch on instead. Parents can also try to bake their own cheese crackers for their children as well, using organic or full-fat cheese and whole milk or cream to ensure their child is getting the appropriate amount of good fats in their diet.
