At the beginning of today's article, Keda first came to a "no prize Q&A" (Pi is very happy!). ）
ask
Milk, yogurt, cheese from the nutritional value, which is higher?
answer
cheese
Are you right?
Cheese is rich in calcium and protein, which is especially conducive to the healthy growth of the baby.
However, there are many kinds of cheeses on the market, and not all cheeses are so "excellent".
Some cheese is actually "fake", the pit will not pick the parents, this cheese to the baby to eat not only no nutrition, but also will have health risks.
So today, HKUST will teach you how to choose and identify cheese, and help you sweep mines!
At the end of the article, a private "cheese recipe" is included! Forward it to your "chef" and try your hand at KODA!
01
"Fake" cheese pit, don't step on it!
The nutritional value of cheese is really rich, but it is infuriating that there is a kind of cheese that is fake and must not be eaten by the baby!
This fake cheese, you know it at a glance! If you happen to have cheese on hand, you can do a small experiment with Keda to test the authenticity of cheese:

Therefore, when choosing cheese, HKUST reminds parents: be sure to go to a regular supermarket and buy a big brand!
There are also some merchants who set the price of cheese very low, which is also a "big pit", don't buy it!
In addition to avoiding buying fake cheese, there is also a lot of attention to how the natural cheese and reconstituted cheese on the market should be selected for the baby.
Keda recommends natural cheese for babies! Because natural cheese is more nutritious and has a better flavor.
And the natural cheese is made from pure milk:
1 kg natural cheese = 10 kg milk! Nutritional value is also leveraged!
Why is remastered cheese not recommended? Of course, its nutritional value is not high, and it will contain a lot of additives! Such as sugar, colors, flavors and so on.
HKUST teaches you how to easily distinguish between natural cheese and remastered cheese through the ingredient list:
The ingredients of natural cheese are generally relatively simple, and the first position in the ingredient list is: milk, followed by fermented bacteria or curd mold, salt and other ingredients.
The list of ingredients for remade cheese is generally very long, and the ingredients in the ingredient list are often water or cream, cheese or cheese account for not much, followed by sugar, milk powder, thickeners, pigments, flavors and other ingredients.
So when buying, be sure to look at the ingredient list, the simpler and cleaner the ingredients, the better!
After you can choose and identify the cheese, the next step is to talk about how to eat it, and we will continue to look down!

3 precautions for eating cheese
1. How old can my baby eat cheese?
After the baby adds complementary food, after eating the original yogurt, he is not allergic, and after nine months, he can add a small amount of cheese.
Infants under 1 year of age should not consume more than 5 grams per week more than four times a week, and children over 1 year of age should not consume more than 10 grams per day.
Since it is not recommended to eat too much salty food, the sodium content in the cheese cannot be underestimated, so you must pay attention to the calcium-sodium ratio of the cheese when purchasing!
HKUST recommends that you buy products with a calcium-sodium ratio greater than 3 and do not give your child too much to eat.
In natural cheese, the calcium-to-sodium ratio can usually reach more than 3, and the calcium-sodium ratio of other natural cheeses is generally about 1.
Re-making cheese is different! There are all names, and the gap is really a world of difference!
Therefore, for the selection of reconstituted cheese, you can choose a product with a calcium-sodium ratio of more than 1, but it is recommended to eat only as a small snack, and calcium supplementation still depends on milk or natural cheese.
In addition, we also need to pay attention to the content of carbohydrates in the nutritional composition list of the product, and try to choose a low product.
Especially in products such as children's cheese sticks, too much carbohydrate often means too much sugar is added!
Keda emphasizes that most merchants will use 100g as the standard statistics when counting nutritional ingredients.
However, some merchants will play a "edge ball" and play a little "careful machine", such as 28g as a statistical standard, thus blurring the content of ingredients.
So be sure to convert!
2. Can children's cheese sticks be eaten every day?
It mainly depends on the amount of dairy products that the child replenishes every day!
For children who like dairy products, children's cheese bars can be eaten as a snack with relatively little nutritional value.
For children who don't like to drink regular milk, children's cheese bars can also be used as an alternative to dairy intake.
But because cheese sticks are mostly filled with milk mineral salts, they are only suitable for babies over the age of three.
Keda believes that as long as the amount is controlled, it can be a good alternative to candy in children's childhood!
3. Cheese is high in calcium, can it completely replace the baby's milk?
Because cheese is high in saturated fatty acids, babies eat too much fat, which may bring obesity problems.
In general, babies over 1 year old should not exceed 10g of cheese per day!
In addition, when we choose cheese, we must choose cheese with the word pasteurization.
Due to the immature gastrointestinal development system of the baby, if you choose unpasteurized milk and raw milk, it is easy to cause food poisoning and indigestion.
