A new study across Ireland and the UK has raised concerns regarding slush ice drinks made with glycerol, particularly their adverse effects on young children. The research indicates that these beverages can lead to health issues such as headaches, nausea, and vomiting in children under five, prompting Ireland's food watchdog to recommend that these drinks should not be given to this age group at all. For older children, aged five to 10, it is advised to limit consumption to one drink per day to prevent potential health complications.
A new study has shown that slush ice drinks, especially those containing glycerol, can cause young children to experience headaches, nausea, and vomiting.
The findings highlight the importance of restricting slush ice drink consumption for children, recommending no more than one drink a day for children aged 5 to 10.
Ireland’s food authorities advise that children under five should completely avoid slush ice drinks made with glycerol due to the associated health risks.
This study reinforces the need for parental supervision regarding what young children are consuming, especially with regards to sugary drinks that could affect their health.
