Studies suggest that carnitine is particularly important in young children as it aids in fat metabolism and mitochondria oxidation.

Aside from the obvious reasons for avoiding it and the fact that we simply don’t need it, excess sugar in diets has been found to suppress the body’s immune responses which your child desperately needs in the early stages of life.

Hydrogenated oils are often used because they’re inexpensive and don’t spoil as quickly, but the process of hydrogenation creates trans fat which has been linked to inflammation.
