Help move this important topic to front page.

They are not in anyway healthy for them because they are flavor drinks which contain mainly sugar and other synthetic additives. Home made juices are advisable if well processed and package.

Seriously.. I need to know as well because the rate at which kids are consuming this drink ehhhhh...


In the meantime...

They are good...... just know that too much of good turns bad.

Keep it moderate.

Chai....God bless this Op. This topic came right on time.

My children drink Ribena on daily basis at school. I asked my wife two days ago about the health implication, she couldn't give any meaningful answer. I suggested we package fruits like Apple, banana, pineapple, but she said No, that they may throw it around before eating it, maybe probably getting dirty. Well, na God hand my kids dey shaa.

Bobo

I too want to know..
Only lazy mothers would keep packing these chemically processed drinks for little kids when we have our natural drinks like ZOBO DRINK, KUNU, FURA 'd' NUNU etc.

You want to spoil someone's market. If you are scared of giving it to your kids, give it to them intermittently. Please remember water too.

I don't think it is okay to mention the brand name even though we all know most of these drinks are unhealthy.

Technically, all food we consume contain unhealthy constituents.
So, it all boils down to moderation.

op, why do u come up with this . What of adult drinking viju milk and soo on

wait lemme consult ifa

Kindly check the back of these drinks, you will see the constituents...

They're not the healthiest of drinks and neither are they harmful to kids.
As long as they don't take too much to upset their tummy they're fine.
Nobody should come here and start saying they contain harmful chemicals,that's nonsense.

OP, don't Com'an be spoiling our childhood memories for us naa




Carry your Health Education and Come and be going

Op, I think the kids are just lucky few to have their drinks packed up and approved by NAFDAC et al

Please check the packs to know if the appropriate authorities have licensed those stuffs

During my time, we never had such luxury, the only drink we knew was "condense" and orange crush.

We had orange crush once a year, every new year day and it was five kids to share a bottle of 35cl liquid content only, thereafter comes the war to know who owns the bottle Cork (e don tail wey girls begin fight for cork)

For those who don't know what condense is, it is that colorful liquid made of "only God knows" tied up into a white synthetic polymer made of aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides (Nylon) and kept in the freezer till it changes its state of matter from liquid to solid ice block and when you bite it, it makes a sound like kaaiinn!!

Funny enough, kids with black currant juice like ribenna would still be begging us our sweet condense

Why not just leave them with Ribena?

Ahh... SINCE 2013. Now, this is a post that could have saved life or have a positive impact on the health of our kids, yet it took it four years to make FP... But all these useless celebrity post reaches FP in micro seconds. No wonder naija is the way it is. SMH.

Nigerians see buying bobo drinks instead of water as enjoyment and they don't want to give the kids teachers the impression that they are broke hence the constant packaging with bobo drinks besides will you b happy if all other kids have bobo and your ward doesn't?

As a kid I took Ribena and I don't have any defect whatsoever. .the key thing is moderation. .and I know working class parents will not always have time to make natural juice. .however a child's diet should not be solely ready made food..balance up with natural food

Smoothies? We tried it for some days, but my kids got tired of it within 3 days.

Nafdac is now trash. God bless madam dora

the sugar in the m*****fu****ker can make a grown mans stick not function well..so i think its no good for kids..remember the stick shall grow...lol

O boy 2013 post making fp in 2017 na wa. Anyway if it was that bad I'm sure the effects would have been noticed by now given the amount of the stuff some Nigerian kids consume on a daily basis.

Why not give kids water to drink.
