Myth 2: Do food additives increase the risk of autism? | Dr Lam Ka-yee

Many pre-packaged foods contain food additives. There are claims circulating that if mothers consume these foods regularly during pregnancy, or if children do so during their growth stages, it increases the risk of developing autism. Is this true or false?

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a congenital brain defect that occurs before a mother's pregnancy. There is currently no definitive medical evidence to prove a direct link between consuming food with artificial additives and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Conversely, genetics is known to be one of the risk factors.

In any case, a balanced diet is very important for children's growth. Absolutely do not let them treat snacks as main meals, otherwise it will only affect their physical and mental development. Especially.AutismYoung children are more prone to picky eating, so parents need to be more patient and careful when dealing with their diets.
