Do you depend on Babay Food more than necessasary? Do you think it is a healthy choice for your child? Then hold back a second! Here is a startling study published recently. New study has revealed that some baby foods contain “staggering” amounts of sugar and fat that make them worse than junk food.

Researchers for the Children’s Food Campaign found that Farley’s Original Rusks contain more sugar than McVities Chocolate Digestives, while Heinz Toddler Mini Cheese Biscuits have proportionately more saturated fat than a McDonald’s quarter pounder with cheese.

“The results of this survey are staggering. Many foods marketed for babies and young children are often advertised as ‘healthy’. In terms of sugar and saturated fat content, some are worse than junk food,” the Daily Express quoted Children’s Food Campaign joint-coordinator Christine Haigh as saying. “In particular, failing to correctly label products that contain dangerous trans fats is outrageous,” Haigh added.

Half of the 107 products surveyed were low in saturated fat, salt and sugar and only a quarter of 24 Heinz baby foods had low levels of all three.

Be carefull when you go for next shopping.  The best food for your baby is homemade by you.
