Whether it is for our own children or for other people’s children, our first choice is milk.
Because in our impression, milk is not only rich in nutrients, but also helps children grow taller and longer, so it is perfect for children to eat.
But did you know? There are all kinds of milk in supermarkets, but they are not necessarily “real milk”. If a child drinks too much, it may not only be detrimental to growth, but may also cause a series of harms.
When we choose milk for our children, we must look carefully. Never buy "fake milk" for your children to drink.
1: Three kinds of "fake milk" disclosed by CCTV
CCTV has disclosed three kinds of "fake milk" before. Don't buy them for your children anymore. It has no nutrition and is a waste of money.
① Milk drink
There is a kind of milk that can easily mislead us, making us think that this type of milk is rich in nutrients and is real milk.
But in fact, this type of milk is not milk and does not have the natural nutrients of milk.
It is a milk drink.
There are many milk-flavored drinks on the market, which are sour and sweet, taste good, and have a milky taste. Children also like to drink them. But in fact, they do not do much good for children's health.
The main ingredient of this dairy drink is water, not milk. What follows the water is usually sugar or food additives and flavors.
We can carefully look at the ingredient list. If the first item is "water", it is usually this type of drink.
Children who drink too much may develop tooth decay or increase their risk of obesity. If such drinks are used instead of meals, the child may not be able to keep up with nutrition, which may affect his development.
② Plant protein drinks
When we see plant protein milks such as soy milk, peanut milk, coconut milk, etc., we usually think that this type of milk is good, natural and nutritious.
But in fact, the nutritional value of this type of milk is not high.
Although it is made from plant nuts, pulp and soybeans after processing and blending, its protein content is not high, only about 1%, and it does not achieve the effect of calcium supplementation.
I saw a lot of plant milks in the supermarket. The first ingredient in their ingredient list is usually water, followed by plant raw materials, but closely followed by various food additives. Such as the following one.
③Breakfast milk
Sometimes, we add milk to the breakfast for our children to supplement their nutrition, but children do not like to drink pure milk.
In order to supplement his milk supply, we will buy breakfast milk.
But breakfast milk is also a “fake milk”.
We can look at the ingredients of breakfast milk. It also contains many additives and flavors, and the protein and calcium content is not high.
None of the above three types of milk are truly nutritious and child-friendly. We should stop buying them for our children.
2: 3 steps to identify "fake milk"
When we choose milk, we are overwhelmed by so many types of milk, and it is impossible to choose the real milk suitable for our children.
Don’t worry, I will teach you how to quickly identify real and fake milk in 3 steps.
The first step: look at the type.
Generally, the product type will be indicated above the ingredient list. If it has the words "modulated milk", "beverage", etc., then this type of milk is not real milk.
Step 2: Look at the ingredient list
In the ingredient list of milk, the first one is usually "raw milk". If not, it is basically not milk.
Step 3: Look at the nutritional content
We need to find the nutritional content, focusing on the "protein" content. Usually the protein content of milk is 2.8%. If it is less than 1%, then don’t choose it.
Three: Choosing real milk
If there are too many types of milk and you still don’t know how to choose, then focus on the following two standards and you will basically not go wrong.
① The ingredient list only has "raw milk"
Some milk. The first ingredient in its ingredient list is indeed "raw milk", but there are a lot of additions following it.
This kind of milk will also have a reduced nutritional value.
If you are not sure, then remember a standard "the simpler the ingredients, the better" . It only has raw milk and no other additives. You can generally not go wrong with this type of milk.
② Look at the nutritional content
The national standard stipulates that the protein content in pure milk is about 2.8%-3.3% per 100ml, and the carbohydrate is 3.4%-7.4%.
If the protein content is less than 2.8%, or the carbohydrate content is higher than 7.4%, then we should not choose it.
Therefore, if we want to buy milk for our children, the first choice is pure milk or fresh milk. Their ingredients are only raw milk, no other sugar, water or additives.
The simpler the ingredients, the higher the nutritional value.
Secondly, look at the "protein" and "carbohydrates" in the ingredient list and keep in mind the two contents.
Except for these two standards, you don’t need all the others. In this way, you can choose good, safe and healthy milk for your child.
Otherwise, children who drink a lot of milk containing sugar and additives may be at risk of becoming obese, may also have tooth decay, and may not like to eat and cannot keep up with nutrition.
Do your children drink a lot of milk?
