Jello - Healthy for a 1 yr old?

Luckiest13 · September 2009

My MIL brought over a giant pack of jellos for DD. She says jello is healthy because its good for the bones. To me, jello sounds like a load of sugar. Does she know something I dont? Does anyone give DC jello?

Yep, jello is good for you all over! Get the sugar free kind, your LO will love it

Look at the sugar content on the package, but I, too, would think it's just chock full of sugar. It's not something I would have thought to feed DD.

I don't think I'd call Jello healthy, but I don't think it's harmful at all.

I think your mom might be thinking of the fact that Jello is made from a substance found in animals' bones. Unless there's some calcium fortified Jello out there, I think she's just confused.

I googled and read that the gelatin is reported by some to be helpful to joint pain or osteoporosis -it is derived from animal bones itself (then processed) but I do not think jello is a necessary food for toddlers by any means. It also has a lot of sugar and artificial coloring.

Hmm...I was always told jello was good for you. I hate it so I don't keep it in the house, but DD and DS have it once in a while with fruit in it.

I have a big problem getting enough protein, and supplemented with a lot of jello while I was pregnant to make sure my RDA was high enough for both of us.

I suggest we all take WikiAnswers with a big grain of salt
