Confidence: HIGH

Corn Syrup

🚨6/10

Jarabe de Maiz is corn syrup which is high in sugars and not recommended for infants under 6 months due to risk of digestive issues and poor nutrition.

Metabolism - Corn syrup is a source of added sugars, and excessive consumption in infants has been linked to potential metabolic issues, including increased risk of obesity and altered glucose metabolism later in life.

Confidence: HIGH

Salt

🚨6/10

Salt can pose strong safety concerns for 0-6 month babies as their kidneys are immature and excess sodium can harm them. It is likely used for flavor or preservation in sweetened cereal.

Organ Risk - Excessive salt intake in babies can strain immature kidneys and may lead to kidney damage or high blood pressure.

Long-Term Risk - High salt consumption in infancy is linked to increased risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease later in life.

Confidence: HIGH

Sugar

⚠️5/10

Added sugar is not recommended for babies under six months. It is not acutely toxic but can harm nutrition and encourage sweet preference and later health issues.

ADHD/ADD - High sugar intake has been linked in some studies to increased hyperactivity and attention issues in children, though evidence is mixed.

Organ Risk - Excessive sugar consumption is associated with increased risk of fatty liver disease and can stress the pancreas in children.

Long-Term Risk - Chronic high sugar intake in early life is linked to increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome later in life.

Metabolism - High sugar intake can negatively affect how the body processes nutrients and is linked to insulin resistance and metabolic disturbances.

Confidence: HIGH

Caramel Color
