The government watchdog said slushed ice drinks containing glycerol - a type of sweetener - were unsafe for young children, and consumption of them should be limited for children aged between seven and 10.
He recommended that children have water or cold milk as alternatives to slushies - or if they want a sweet drink, fruit flavoured water with ice cubes, a diet drink or a low-sugar ice lolly
Duane either doesn’t have any kids, or doesn’t care what nursing home they are going to pick for him.
It says more about you as a parent that you’re incapable of saying no to them having liquid sugar whenever they want.
Hi, Duane.
Are you still mad about that post with the Americans dragging around big-gulps in a trolley?
Mad? I thought that was brilliant.
no shit, I don’t think it is safe for anyone
They ain’t safe for seven or older people either.
Once you turn 10 the glycerol has to follow the rules, obviously it can’t hurt you after that. Everyone knows chemicals listen to the rules we give them. Don’t be silly.
This just in: pure high fructose corn syrup and food coloring bad for kids! More at 10.
