Can children have cold drinks?
Children under 1 year old cannot eat!
Most commercially available ice creams contain sugar, and a small number of them add salt during processing. It is recommended that babies under 1 year old be fed with breast milk or formula milk and use natural foods as complementary foods. The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents recommend that no sugar be added to complementary foods for children under 2 years old.
Therefore, when the baby is 1 to 2 years old, do not give commercially available ice cream to your child. After the child is 2 years old, try to pay attention to the principle of occasional and small amounts, and do not offer it proactively.
The health concerns of ice cream are high in sugar, oil and calories. It is best for babies over 2 years old to have a daily free sugar intake of no more than 25g.
From the perspective of diet or nutrition, any health risks or benefits are a long-term accumulation process. If the child only eats it once in a while, parents do not need to be particularly entangled.
How to choose a qualified cold drink?
#1
Look at the ingredient list
Pay attention to the order in the ingredient list. Generally, food ingredients are arranged in order from most to least, with the higher the content at the front.
If milk or dairy products are listed first in the ingredient list, then the milk content in the ice cream is more guaranteed.
Look at the nutritional content
Mainly look at the protein content in the nutrition facts table. Ice cream and ice cream with high protein content are generally of higher quality.
If ice cream contains more than 3 grams of protein per 100 grams, it means that its protein content is comparable to that of milk!
