DON'T GET YOUR CHILD EAT CRISP IF YOU THINK HIS HEALTH


According to WHO and FDA(Food and Drug Administration) an adult should consume 6 gram salt, 65 gram oil at the most in a day. And if it is possible, trans oil shouldn't be in this ratio. In children this number decreases to 3 gram salt and 30 gram oil. It means, when your child eat two packets of crisps, s/he goes beyond this proportion.

Researches show that when consumption of trans oil surpasses 20 gram daily, the risk of obesity increases to %80 and of the heart attack to %60.

WHO has started a campaign as " Fight Against Salt" . BHF has also started a campaign so that children lower the consuption of crisps warning them with this motto" Eating crisp is nothing but drinking oil". In a packet of crisp 2,5 spoon of oil is used and with the oil that is used in a day in Britain, two olympic pools can be filled. In the world 36 billion packets of crisps are sold every year.

But still we are going on eating them. Because there aren't efficient warnings in our country. Some people suggest that there are remarks on the crisp packets saying" crisp is harmful to your health" as on the cigarette packets. Of course we don't know to what extent this can be useful and deterrent. But we can see this means nothing for most of the addictives..
