Hi
Wasn't sure where to post this, so if anybody feels it would be better elsewhere then please feel free to put it in a different category x
I attended a course on oral hygiene the other night, it was excellent and I learned a lot.
I have always supplied sugar free drinks alongside milk and water, thinking it was better for their teeth etc. After attending my course I learned that most sugar free drinks contain the sweetener aspartame, which apparantley should not be given to children under 3. It has been copmpletely banned in America and has been linked to brain tumours and Alzheimers!!
I never knew this and feel awful knowing I've been giving it not only to my mindees but my own children for years!!
Has anybody else heard this?
I've now switched to diluting pure juice as was suggested.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
