Do the differences in "milk" have something to do with the growth of children?

ByEric Martin

Speaking of "milk" mainly refers to milk, but in recent years vegetable milk such as soymilk, almond milk, rice milk has appeared, and some children drink milk other than milk on a daily basis. So, the researchers conducted a survey on 5,000 children, depending on the difference between drinking milk and something different for children.

This time the research was done by Jonathon Maguire, a pediatrician at St. Michaels Hospital in Toronto, Canada, and the results of the study were presented at the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Maguire Mr.Primary careThe survey was conducted on 5,000 children aged 2 to 6 who received treatment. We measured the height and weight of children and sampled blood samples, and took parents' questionnaire to give milk to children or milk taken from other than cattle. At this time, 13% of the children drinking milk taken from vegetable milk and goat, the remaining children routinely drank milk.

The results of the survey show that a 3 year old child drinking 3 cups of milk every day has an average height of 1.3 cm taller than a child drinking milk other than milk. Because the average height of a 3 year old child is about 76 cm, this difference of 1.3 cm is very large, Mr. Maguire says. It is unknown at what point the height difference born from the difference of drinking milk is derived at the time of article creation, but in view of past research results, it is considered to be caused by a specific protein contained in milk.

The amount of protein required by a 3 year old child on a day is said to be about 16 grams, which is equivalent to the amount of protein you can consume in 2 cups of milk. On the other hand, the amount of protein contained in 2 cups of almond milk is about 4 grams, and only 25% of the protein amount required per day can be ingested. In addition, the results of this survey considers age, sex, ethnicity, annual income, mother's height, and so on.

Meanwhile, a pediatrician, Peter Nieman points out that milk not milk immediately causes mild stature just because a relationship between the ingestion of milk that is not milk and height has been recognized . For environmental and medical reasons, there are an increasing number of families who choose milk that is not milk, and in the past 10 years consumption of non-milk milk is increasing. However, Nieman seems to think that these are relatively new research fields and that it is premature to conclude. "Even if someone chooses milk that is not milk for environmental reasons such as" I am vegan ", I must respect them and help them to make their lives healthy and safe It will not be, "Nieman said. Although this research will revitalize the discussion, Nieman explains that long-term information is needed.

In Canada, standards exist in nutritional components contained in milk, but researchers also mention that standards do not exist in other milk such as almond milk. Researchers say the standards provide enough nutrition to children to protect them and it is unnatural that standards do not apply to other milks that line up in stores in a manner similar to milk It is.
