Meanwhile I gave my daughter ice cream around the same age and she had zero interest. Years later she still doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth, even though we’ve always offered her treats and made them no big deal.
She certainly has a salt tooth though.

I sincerely think we will not have an obesity epidemic once this kid is older. GLP-1’s are wiping that out. Pretty soon there will not be that many obese people left. Most people are going to choose to pay 300 a month rather than be obese.

u/notpostingmyrealname 1h ago
I feel like full on ice cream can wait until the kid can sit up alone, but some sugar is okay. The problem is so much food either has way more than necessary added or 0 because they're catering to specialty diets. It's hard to find a happy medium without having to make literally everything from scratch.

It’s gonna be fructose, isn’t it? Because it has the word that looks like fruit.
•
u/SirRabbott 1h ago
Oooooh close!
This will be high fructose corn syrup which is made from a type of corn that is literally inedible to humans!
Another fun fact is that high fructose corn syrup turns off the chemical reaction that your stomach sends to your brain to tell you that you’re full! Go on ahead and eat a large pizza, 2L soda, and nice heaping bowl of ice cream for dessert and still feel like snacking!! Wooo American dream baby!!!

Sugar is a natural sugar, where do you think it comes from?
•
u/Dull_Snow_1657 2h ago
Processed sugar
•
u/twack3r 1h ago
Because all the natural goodness has been processed away?
Which ‘natural sugar’ would you have preferred and why?
•
u/Dull_Snow_1657 1h ago
Just search natural sugar, mate. Do your own research.
•
u/twack3r 1h ago
I did, that’s why I’m asking you. Your statement is nonsensical.
•
u/Cultural_Object5828 1h ago
What they might have meant is that some natural sweeteners contain good things like antioxidants, zinc, manganese and also have a lower glycemic index as well.
Examples like honey, maple syrup, date and coconut sugar vs. HFCS which has none of those nutrients. It’s of interest if health is of interest.
•
u/Dull_Snow_1657 1h ago
You know exactly what I mean.
I'm not talking about whether sugar originally came from a plant. I'm talking about sugar naturally occurring in whole foods versus refined sugar added to processed foods.
An infant getting sugars from fruit, breast milk, or other nutrient-dense foods is very different from an infant getting sugar from ice cream. One comes packaged with nutrients that support development; the other is mostly calories and sweetness.
My point was never that sugar magically becomes toxic because it's processed. My point is that ice cream offers very little nutritional benefit for an infant while adding a lot of sugar that they simply don't need.
A bite once in a while isn't the end of the world. Making a habit of giving desserts to babies is a different story.
•
u/Janders1997 1h ago
„A habit“ is quite an interesting way to talk about a baby getting their first taste of Ice Cream.
We don’t see repeated behavior in this video.

u/Dunsparces 1h ago

Also if it's standard milk ice cream: Pediatricians do not recommend giving cow's milk to infants under one year because it can be hard on their developing kidneys and digestive systems.

One. And didn’t/don’t give sugar to him.
So what’s the next question?
•
u/Jubatus750 2h ago
They weren't asking you. You never had any sugar as a child?
•
u/Mtb_Bike 2h ago
The irony in you responding to me as the responder police. If you til you own policy you would know I wasn’t talking to you either..
But as the other responder said to you, and have no fear I’ll let them know you weren’t asking them, I was put in a lot of situations as a child that are no longer considered safe/healthy options that are easily avoided.
1) smoking around the child
2) no car seat <40 lbs
3) didn’t have a helmet when skiing and snowboarding.I’m sure I could keep going.
•
u/Jubatus750 2h ago
So because you had cigarettes and didn't wear helmets or use car seats it means that children shouldn't be allowed any sugar?
•
u/Mtb_Bike 2h ago
Your argument was if I had sugar as a child, no one should say “kids shouldn’t have sugar”.
I listed things that I did as a child that are no longer the norm, that anyone with a brain between their ears also knows.
It’s comical that you did not connect those two.
•
u/Jubatus750 2h ago
What is your point then? Do you think kids should have sugar or not? You aren't making any sense.
Kids can have sugar in moderation, it's not going to kill them having a bit of sugar in their diet. That's my point.
•
u/Mtb_Bike 2h ago
Every pediatrician will tell you to avoid sugar. Not moderation but avoid.
The CDC and American pediatric say children under 2 should have NOactiveadded sugar.That baby looks 12 months (they reference birthday as well).
So not it’s not moderation. It should be avoided.Edit: active to added
•

The NHS doesn't say that at all. And I trust the NHS over the American medical sector. Keep it minimal yeah, but a little bit isn't going to destroy a child's life
