Do your kids love candy? That's perfectly fine. But how often do you allow them to indulge, and more importantly, what kinds of candies are they eating? Did you know some of them can be harmful to their health?<\/p>

Food dyes are found in most candies, including snacks, ice creams, and various dairy products. Today, small amounts of food dyes are approved by the health department, but that doesn't mean it's safe to eat candies containing them.<\/p>

According to Dr. Maya Rozman, who writes about this in the Maariv newspaper, "It's still better to consume as little as possible due to potential health risks, even from small amounts. All the candies, 'snakes,' toffees, and lollipops contain a vast amount of dyes, especially the one most harmful to kids – tartrazine."<\/p>

Rozman explains that scientific studies have proven that excessive consumption of this dye causes hyperactive behavior. "When foods with this dye are cut out and children switch to a diet free of food dyes, they calm down, and their restless behavior disappears."<\/p>

When asked what to do when kids insist on colorful foods, she answered, "Sometimes, just a colorful package is enough. There are dairy products with vibrant packaging, and the cheese or yogurt inside is pale because they contain natural dyes, which doesn't really matter to the kids. This also applies to candies or popsicles with colorful wrappers. You must read the food packaging and aim for products that only have natural colors."<\/p>
