For formula foods based on milk-based babies (1st segment) and older babies (2nd segment) the source of carbohydrate should be the first choice for lactose (lactose should account for ≥90% of the total carbohydrate amount). glucose polymer can be appropriately added (the starch can only be added after pregelatinization). fructose and sucrose should not be used.
However, children's (3rd paragraph) formula food does not have this requirement;
In other words, 3rd paragraph formula milk powder does not require that the source of carbohydrates should be lactose first, and fructose and sucrose are not prohibited.
Sucrose is a type of disaccharide . It is composed of the condensation and dehydration of a molecule of glucose and the hemiacetal hydroxyl group of fructose. It is almost universally present in leaves, flowers, stems, seeds and fruits in the plant world.
is particularly rich in sugar cane, beets and maple sap.
cane sugar tastes sweet and is an important food and sweet condiment.
The common white sugar, yellow sugar, red sugar, cotton sugar, , single crystal rock sugar, polycrystalline rock sugar, brown sugar, brown sugar, borneol sugar , sugar cube, frosting, and liquid syrup are all sucrose.
However, compared with fructose and sucrose, lactose is the more useful ingredient for babies!
It is understood that in normal breast milk, lactose is also one of the most important ingredients, and the content will reach more than 50%.
, as the main carbohydrate present in breast milk, is a key source of energy in the early stages of life. It provides energy for babies, with a light taste and easy to absorb.
If lactose is lacking, it will cause the baby to lose weight, lose weight, and grow slowly. In severe cases, protein deficiency may also occur.
Based on this, in order to let Chinese babies drink better milk powder, Feihexing Feifan , Macquarie, Sanyuan Ailiyou, Shengyuan Youbo , Junle Baoleper, Beinmei Green Love, Jinlingguan Ruihu, Wyeth Qifu , Nestle Nengen , Beizhikang , etc. are strict with themselves and have always adhered to the self-discipline standards higher than the "national standard";
not only choose lactose for 1st and 2nd formula milk powder, but even 3rd formula milk powder is the first choice for lactose, and also refuses to add raw materials such as flavors and vanillin to the product.
However, not all companies can adhere to higher and better standards. For example, the three series of milk powders under Weiquan (China Taiwan Brand) have added white sugar in all three sections.
Of course, it is not illegal to add white sugar to the 3-stage formula milk powder. However, in order to allow Chinese babies to drink healthier milk powder, many brands can "not add", so why can't the taste be done?
"Wugu Finance" sorted out and found that the formula milk powder of Aishi, Ober and Meire under Weiquan showed that all white sugar was added in the ingredients list. Why
?
Wei has not made any public explanation in all aspects, but it is emphasized that Weiquan milk powder strictly follows the following four steps to develop infant formula, namely, scientific basis/stricken selection of raw materials/stability test/expert demonstration, and uses infant growth and nutritional needs as the cornerstone of research and development, and design infant formula milk powder suitable for Chinese babies' physique.
is unique.
, which has always been known as , the royal brand of Dutch , Meisujiaer 3-section formula milk powder, also added white sugar, which is surprising.
It is reported that adding white sugar to some formula milk powder is mainly due to cost considerations!
However, the assistant general manager of Sanyuan Co., Ltd. Wu Songhang told the First Financial reporter that the previous industry has the cost and taste considerations. Milk powder added with white sugar tastes sweeter and easier to be accepted by children, but using white sugar can easily induce tooth decay. If it is changed to lactose, the cost per ton of milk powder will increase by 1,000 yuan.
Wu Songhang explained the "causes and consequences" of adding white sugar to the formula milk powder, which was a clear explanation.
It is reported that sucrose, including white sugar, and fructose, are not "preferred" ingredients for babies, whether in terms of absorption or nutrition.
First, sucrose is not easy to digest for the baby's gastrointestinal intestines. Once accumulated and fermented, it will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and increase peristalsis. In mild cases, it causes abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it causes diarrhea.
A large amount of water and nutrients that cannot be absorbed are lost with diarrhea, further destroying the balance of the baby's intestinal flora.
The intestine is the door to baby's resistance. The imbalance of intestinal microbial flora not only weakens the body's resistance, but may also cause allergic symptoms such as eczema.
Second, after sugar enters the body, the body needs to consume the calcium reserved, otherwise it will not be metabolized and decomposed.
Therefore, if the sugar intake is excessive for a long time, it is very likely to affect bone development and in severe cases it may even cause rickets.
Third, children eat too much sugar and their blood sugar is at a high level for a long time, which can easily cause the blood osmotic pressure to decrease , causing the osmotic pressure of the lens and the eye to change, which can easily cause myopia.
Fourth, the refined sugar has almost zero other nutrients such as protein, vitamins, inorganic salts and fiber.
is a high-calorie energy supply substance. Each gram of sugar can produce 4,000 calories in the body. The baby no longer feels hungry after eating sugar and has a lower appetite, which affects the intake of other nutrients such as minerals, trace elements, dietary fiber, etc.
Fifth, studies have confirmed that excessive intake of sweets can damage the ability of white blood cells to phagocytic bacteria, thereby reducing the body's ability to resist external microorganisms.
Eating sweets regularly will destroy the normal acid-base balance in the body and cause an acidic constitution. The acidic constitution is a breeding ground for various diseases and is also one of the causes of children's infection with various diseases such as sores, boils, tonsillitis, etc.
Based on this, industry insiders told Wugu Finance that although adding white sugar to the 3-section formula milk powder under Weiquan is not a violation, in order for Chinese babies to drink more nutritious and healthier milk powder, it is best not to add white sugar, so that the industry can develop healthily.
It is worth noting that after obtaining the registration, the "white sugar" quietly disappeared among the ingredients.
However, after Weiquan Ouber and Aishga were registered, "white sugar" still exists among the ingredients.
Company care, mother feel at ease!
But if the taste is not taken care of in the ingredients, how can mother feel at ease?
