Most parents who give their children commercial/conventional vitamin supplements are not aware that they are feeding them chemicals that they probably would never allow them to eat in the foods they are served. The question is:"Why aren't parents opting for healthy alternatives to the conventional brand vitamins?"
Here are the most common additives in children's vitamins:
Aspartame
cupric oxide
coal tar (food coloring, including: FD&C Blue #2, Red #40, Yellow #6)
Zinc oxide (that's what helps to prevent diaper rash)
Sorbitol
Ferrous fumerate
hydrogenated oils
GMO corn starch
If little ones get a small dose of all of the above on a regular basis, the additive affect will certainly result in physiological/nutritional imbalances, over time.
You can go to: www.greenmed/info.com to view more about this topic. I've blogged about the problems with using synthetic vitamins, the ingestion of hydrogenated fats, the difference between lab manufactured vitamins and whole food organic supplements and the dangers of aspartame and sorbitol.
There are healthy children's and adult supplements that are admittedly more expensive than the WalMart/CVS/Walgreens/CostCo varieties, but end up being so much more costly to our bodies, in the end, than the whole food supplements.
It's up to all of us to decide.
