My toddler loves to eat fast-food a lot. is there any impacts on his brain development with this? Does he has to stop having them or limit them?

fast/junk food contains high sugar, high salt, trans fat, artificial colorings and flavorings. All these will increase body and brain inflammation. High blood glucose in body will cause brain cell damage as well. Of course we have to limit them to taking too much of fast food. but we can’t totally stop them from eating junk food, since we as an adult also hard to say no to junk food, right? Instead of stopping them to eat, we need to become their role model, since kids are copying what their parents do. Don’t buy too many snacks/ junk food/ sugary drinks at home. If the kids able to get those food easily, they will keep eating, sooner or later will become a habit.
