The Hidden Dangers of Synthetic Kids’ Vitamins
Registered dietitian Valerie Smith warns that popular children’s multivitamins like Flintstones® often prioritize sugar and artificial dyes over nutrition. Key red flags:
- First Ingredients: Glucose syrup, sucralose, and artificial colors (e.g., Red Dye 40) linked to hyperactivity and cancer risks.
- Low Bioavailability: Synthetic vitamin forms (like cheap vitamin D) fail to support immune function or bone health.
- Banned Abroad: Many additives in U.S. vitamins are prohibited in Europe due to safety concerns.
