As the "nutrition responsibility" of national health, milk occupies an important position in the diet.
A small cup of milk can obtain rich protein, vitamins, calcium and other important nutritional elements, and because of this, the height of children in China has gradually increased, thanks to the popularity of milk.
And because of this daily drink, milk has also ushered in a diversified market, and a variety of milk products are emerging in an endless stream.
There are raw milk that claims to be natural and has no loss of nutritional value without preservatives, as well as fresh milk with a short shelf life and higher price, as well as boxed ambient milk with affordable prices.
However, for the common milk powder, milk is better, dairy products are more loved by friends, and even some children will refuse to drink milk, choose dairy drinks instead of milk to drink.
The question is, can dairy drinks be consumed instead of milk?
For this problem, it can be said very directly that dairy drinks cannot be drunk instead of milk.
Most dairy drinks are made in a variety of dairy drinks that capture the characteristics of children's sweet and sour tastes, and they also use the name of milk.
In fact, the nutrient content gap between the two is very large.
Although it cannot be completely said that dairy drinks do not have the nutrients that children need, it can be said to be very small, and it is far from milk.
Therefore, it is recommended that parents try to avoid their children from drinking dairy drinks frequently for the sake of their children's growth and development, and they cannot replace milk to drink.
What are the differences between dairy drinks and milk?
1, the difference in nutritional composition is not the same
The biggest difference between fresh pure milk and dairy drinks is the difference in the protein content contained in them.
The main ingredient in dairy beverages is a certain amount of fresh milk, plus a large number of water, food additives and other chemicals.
However, the fresh milk content in pure milk is more, and the high-quality protein content contained in it is extremely rich, which can well supplement the nutrition required by children every day.
2. Compared with pure milk, milk drinks contain a large number of additives
Essentially, dairy beverages are not a dairy product of any kind.
In addition to the better taste, it is not able to improve the children's good nutritional content, so it is recommended that parents try to give their children as little as possible to drink these dairy drinks for the sake of their children's health.
3, milk drinks in the calories high sugar content
In addition to the addition of a large number of additives in dairy drinks, in order to enhance the taste, it has become more popular with children.
In the process of making, a lot of sugar is often added to become sweeter, most children like the sweet taste, but often drinking too much sugar is not conducive to the child's gastrointestinal burden, over time will make the child's health problems.
So, such a bottle of "fake milk" to drink, in addition to sugar, what other nutrients?
What's more, for small babies, consuming too much sugar not only causes picky eating anorexia, but also causes obesity and damage to teeth.
How to avoid this "fake milk"?
In fact, it is very simple, as long as the words "drink" and "beverage" on the package can be passed directly.
At the same time, you can also look at the ingredient list and the nutrition facts list, the longer the ingredient list, the more additives.
According to national regulations, the protein content of pure milk ≥ 2.9 grams / 00ml, so if it is found that the protein in china in the ingredient list is less than 2.9 grams, it is not "real milk", then it is recommended not to give children to drink.
At the same time, milk also has carbohydrates, the main ingredient is sugar or lactose, so the content of about 5 is normal.
For low-fat milk, skim milk, which has a small fat content, it is recommended not to let children under 5 years old drink it, after all, the fat content is too low.
For imported milk, there is not much difference in essence, so there is no need to buy imports deliberately.
Of course, if you have to feel that the wallet is too drummed, uncomfortable, and want to buy imported milk, then it is recommended to buy every room temperature milk, because pasteurized milk has a short shelf life, and the cold chain of the long journey cannot be effectively guaranteed.
