Pediatricians Reveal Foods They Avoid Feeding Their Children

Pediatricians share the foods they rarely or never serve their own children. Some of the foods they avoid include hard candy due to its high sugar content and choking hazard, highly processed packaged foods for their high salt and bad fat content, energy drinks due to their potential dangers and high caffeine levels, fish high in mercury to protect the developing brain, and sugary juice and soda for their concentrated sugar and low fiber content. They also caution against giving toddlers and young children choking hazards like popcorn, hotdogs, and grapes, and advise against unpasteurized dairy products due to the risk of gastrointestinal infections.
