Poor school performance can result from poor
nutrition
How’s Your Child’s Health?
FACT: French fries—The most common
vegetable source for kids today
What Are We Putting In Our Kids?
FACT: Soft drinks—Most 8-year-olds drink soft drinks daily, and each 355 mL (12 oz.) serving contains 45 g (9 tsp.) of sugar; phosphorous in soft drinks can leach calcium out of bones
FACT: Hot dogs, cookies, and rolls—All among the top 10 sources of food among infants and toddlers 4–24 months of age
FACT: Junk food—25% of calories on a typical school day come from junk food
FACT: 287 industrial chemicals—Found in a test of the
umbilical cord blood of 10 newborns: consumer-product ingredients, banned industrial chemicals, and pesticides
FACT: Bisphenol-A (BPA)—An endocrine disrupter found in polycarbonate plastic containers, baby bottles, and toys; newborns and infants may have up to 11 times more in their bodies than adults
FACT: 1,4-dioxane and formaldehyde—Found in 61% of 28 children’s bath soaps, shampoos, lotions, and other personal care products tested; classified by Health Canada as a “substance of concern” and a “probable carcinogen,” respectively
FACT: Phthalates—Fragrance can contain phthalates—known endocrine disrupters—which are also known to be skin irritants with potentially negative impacts on the respiratory system, liver, and kidneys
What Are we Putting On Our Kids?
Babies’ skin is 5 times thinner and more
permeable than adult skin, making babies more susceptible to
toxins
FACT: Asthma—Common household cleaners and appliances may give off fumes that can be triggers for asthma in children
FACT: Health risks—Chemicals that can be found in everyday products that are probably under your kitchen sink or in your laundry room, basement, bathroom, and garage are known to be harmful to children, particularly to their developing nervous systems and brains
FACT: Poisonings— One million poisonings in Canada each year are due to household cleaner ingestion; chlorine bleach is the chemical most frequently involved in household poisonings in the U.S.
Out of 81,000 chemicals registered with the U.S. EPA in the past 30 years, fewer than 20% have been tested for toxicity!
