Question
Which snacks should children with epilepsy avoid?
Answer
Children with epilepsy should avoid snacks that are high in lead, such as potato chips, common preserved eggs, and popcorn. Baked potato chips contain acrylamide, which may affect health when consumed in large quantities over a long period. It is recommended that individuals with epilepsy, especially children, reduce their intake of these snacks to minimize the risk of seizure episodes. Parents should help children establish good eating habits to promote their health.
