Have you ever encountered a situation where the baby wants to drink milk tea?
Recently, we brushed a video on the Internet that made people cry and laugh: a mother took her daughter to line up to do nucleic acid, and turned her head to find that the baby was actually drinking the milk tea of the handsome guy in front of the queue!
Netizens laughed and said that this is to reduce the burden on handsome guys ~ it is really cute.
However, jokes are jokes, we still have to remind everyone, the recent epidemic has been repeated, do nucleic acid must pay attention to wearing a mask, spaced one meter apart, do not steal people's milk tea!
Moreover, even if you buy milk tea and fruit tea, try not to give it to your baby. These drinks are common on the street, and the invisible harm is not small. Sugar content and trans fatty acids are the most obvious, the Shanghai Consumer Protection Commission has made a review of the major "net red milk tea", the highest sugar content of a cup is equivalent to 14 sugar cubes!
Then many girlfriends around will say: when ordering milk tea, order sugar-free, change to fresh milk, or order fruit tea is not enough? After all, the baby is older, and when the mother also loves to drink milk tea, sometimes she can't bear to give her a taste.
Now take the baby out to eat, some of the set menus will have kumquat lemon tea, a variety of fruit tea, sent all sent, just give the child a few sips, thinking that it will be safer than milk tea.
But in fact, in addition to sugar content and trans fatty acids, milk tea and fruit tea have a harmful factor that is often overlooked - caffeine.
Maybe some mothers will be as curious as the editorial department @ Jiajie, is there also caffeine in fruit tea and flower tea?
Today we will talk about the "invisible killer" caffeine in drinks.
We took a look at the different kinds of drinks in popular milk tea shops and found that it is not simple:
▲The commercially available milk tea is roughly composed
Unexpectedly, most of the drinks sold hot in milk tea shops actually hide caffeine.
Some institutions have done special testing and found that the caffeine content is even more shocking:
If your child drinks a full cup of bubble tea, it's equivalent to drinking nearly 3 cans of Red Bull and consuming about 100mg of caffeine!
Fruit tea, which looks "harmless to humans and animals", also has about 40mg of caffeine per cup, which is only the average, and the highest can reach 1.5 cans of Red Bull.
Can this still be safe for children to drink?
For children who are growing and developing, if they consume a certain amount of caffeine, they will:
After eating caffeine, the most intuitive feeling is that it will become particularly excited and not easy to fatigue. This can cause insomnia, reduce the time of deep sleep, and destroy the normal biological clock of the human body.
The editorial department @ Meng Meng has a deep experience, the other day ordered a cup of Boba milk tea, 5-year-old baby took advantage of her walking away, stole half a cup. As a result, it was not until after 2 a.m. that the baby fell asleep in a daze.
Because I didn't sleep well, I didn't have any energy when I went to kindergarten the next day.
We all know how important a good sleep is for children, and not sleeping well affects not only the state of the next day, but also the height and development over time.
According to studies, excessive caffeine has a certain physiological effect on the central nervous system of the human body, causing heart disease and high blood pressure.
In particular, the development of various organs of the child's body is not yet perfect, and the harm is even greater.
For young children, their metabolic capacity for caffeine is relatively weak, and a small amount of caffeine is likely to reach a dose of "poisoning".
We found caffeine intake recommendations from Europe and Canada, which you can refer to:
Take children aged 4 to 6 years as an example, drinking half a cup of bubble tea (about 250g), caffeine intake has exceeded the recommended value.
Think about the amount of milk in a bottle, if we don't stop it, the child can drink it easily.
We investigated a circle and found that although many mothers are well controlled at home and insist on not giving the baby the opportunity to try milk tea, they really can't stand the "information exchange" of the baby in the kindergarten, and the "kind feeding" of other people's mothers when they gather with other children.
For example, the editorial department @ fork sister complained, the son participated in the summer vacation class last year, and came back to ask his mother for milk tea to drink, on the grounds that the mother of the children in the class bought her X snow X city every day, and she also wanted it.
If you accidentally have the opportunity to touch milk tea, this drink may enter the "pit".
What if your child must drink it? We asked some parents about the practice, share with you, there is always a suitable for you ~
If your baby has not really tasted the taste of milk tea and fruit tea, then you can:
1. Let the clerk use a clean milk tea cup to fill a cup of water for the child to drink;
2. Buy a beautiful straw cup and prepare an exclusive special "milk tea" for the baby before going out - milk + fruit into a milkshake.

3. When going to the milk tea shop to order, ask the clerk to only put fruit, fresh milk or water, tea and sugar do not add, and can not be filled, half a cup is enough;
If your baby has already tasted it, or has already gone to elementary school, you can let go of some appropriately. The practice of the cake mother's family is also shared with you:
Nowadays, the milk tea shops on the street are full of temptations, and it is impossible to completely isolate the baby.
But everyone does not have to be too anxious, among the mothers we interviewed, some people mentioned that their babies have tasted milk tea, and they do not like this taste, and they usually do not drink it.
What we can do for the child, that is, to understand the stakes, grasp the amount, and the rest will see the tricks and let him go
