How do babies drink juice?
Many parents worry that their baby is not well-nourished, so they often give their babies fruit juice and want vitamin C supplementation. However, nutrition experts say that although fruit juices have good taste and nutrition, it is good for the children to drink some, but excessive drinking is harmful. What's going on here? The original, drink more fruit juice, vitamin C but not easy but anemia too!
Secret: drinking too much juice anti-anemia
Infants under 2 years of age often have large amounts of drinking water and juice, which can affect appetite, cause malnutrition, affect normal growth and development, and even cause anemia. Juices made from fruits are rich in fructose, which the body can absorb and use, but excessive fructose can affect the body's absorption of copper. Copper is one of the necessary trace elements in the human body to participate in the manufacture of cardiovascular tissue. The lack of copper in children will leave hidden dangers for coronary heart disease in the future. Copper is also an integral part of many enzymes in the body. It is involved in the metabolism of iron in the body. Therefore, copper deficiency can also cause anaemia, and the therapeutic effect of iron supplementation is not good.
In addition, fruit juice also contains tannic acid and pigments. The former enters the human body and combines with calcium ions to form calcium citrate, which is difficult to release, so that the blood calcium concentration is reduced, resulting in excessive sweating, emotional instability, and even skeletal deformities and other symptoms of calcium deficiency. Pigments are also harmful to children. Excessive pigment accumulation in the body is not only one of the causes of ADHD in children, but also can interfere with the function of various enzymes and impair the metabolism of proteins, fats and sugars, thus affecting infants and young children. Growth and development.
Experts suggest that the amount of fruit juice to be given to infants every day must be appropriate, not more than half a bottle, especially apple juice, which may also lead to diarrhea after large doses. Experts encourage children to drink boiled water, because boiled water easily through the cell membrane, is conducive to metabolism, maintain immune function, improve disease resistance. White water can add some fruit juice, but it should not be too much, not to use water instead of boiled water.
Four potential threats to fruit juice
There are currently three main types of fruit juice on the market: Fruity beverages that have little to do with fruit, a certain percentage of fruit juice drinks, and pure fruit juices. And the same analysis of what the "healthy" and "unhealthy."
Threat 1: heat higher than soda
A glass of juice combines the sugar of multiple servings of fruit. If calculated by the same amount, the juice contained in the juice is even higher than the soda. You may not have imagined that a glass of 240 milliliters of pure juice generally has about 100 calories, which is higher than the recognized "obese drink" Coke.
Threat 2: Easier to increase fat accumulation
In addition, fruit juice contains a lot of fructose. University of California scientist Stanhope pointed out that the intake of large amounts of fructose will increase the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, because fructose is more easily converted into fat by the liver than glucose.
Threat 3: Rely on sweet drinks for 8 days
In addition, some experts worry that children who drink lots of sweet drinks will make them prefer sweet foods when they grow up. A 2004 study in the Netherlands found that children aged 8 to 10 had a preference for sweeter drinks after drinking sugary orange juice for 8 consecutive days. They also drink more because they are accustomed to the sweet taste of orange juice.
Threat 4: Artificial colors affect IQ
For fruity beverages and low-concentration fruit juice drinks, artificial colors are used - bright colors allow consumers to associate beverages with fruits on the look and feel, when the juice content is low enough to make the beverages have a colorful fruit color Cheap artificial colors are the best choice. The damage of artificial colors to the human body, especially children, has long been studied in modern nutrition. In 2008, researchers from the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom surveyed 100 children and found that synthetic pigments can affect children’s mental development. Children who drink less juice often drink, often lack of appetite, hyperactivity, temperament, height and weight. Excessive pigments enter the child's body and are prone to immersing in their immature gastrointestinal mucosa, causing loss of appetite and indigestion, interfering with the function of multiple enzymes in the body, and adversely affecting metabolism and physical development.
How to drink juice right?
Walking into the supermarket, rows of drinks varied, making it difficult to start. Natural beverages that are both nutritious, good and tasteful are fruit juice drinks. But how do you choose the brands and types? Let nutrition experts tell people how to identify fruit juice beverages and instill the right ideas for consumers.
Concept One: 100% juice is more nutritious than other juices.
Expert comment: basically correct.
Judging the nutritional content of juice: First depends on its purity, the second depends on its fruit species, third look at the pulp content. For fruit juices of the same type, 100% nutrition is definitely higher than 10% or other purity. Mixed juices have higher nutrition: a kind of fruit a kind of nutrition, a variety of fruits and a variety of nutrition. Juices containing more pulp have a higher nutritional value because pulp cellulose is very beneficial to the human body.
Concept Two: To eat fruit to consider pesticide residues, drink juice there is no such problem.
Expert comment: wrong.
Fruit juices are made from fruit, and safety and health issues need to be considered as well. One of the safety aspects of fruit juices is whether or not they have added preservatives. This can be seen on the label. One is the pesticide residue, which cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. It is only possible to select the best quality fruit juice brands to ensure safety.
Concept 3: The more transparent the juice, the better.
Expert comment: wrong.
Some juices in supermarkets are brightly colored and have good permeability. They are good-looking; others are not transparent and look mellow and even a bit gloomy. In fact, the color of freshly-produced juice is normal, but juices that are still colorful after being placed for a long time are not necessarily good juices. Usually, after a fresh apple is cut, the surface will soon have a rust-colored layer. This is because the fruits are easily oxidized. After a long time, the color will naturally change. The same is true for fruit juices. When stored for a long time, the colors become mellow, texture, transparency, and glory are reduced. Those juices that have not been changed for a long period of time may be added with color-protecting agents and preservatives. Consumers must be careful when drinking, and the closer the fruit juices are to fresh fruits, the better.
Concept 4: The lower the water content, the lower the calories.
Expert comment: wrong.
Fruit juice bottles on the market usually see such values ​​as 10%, 20%, 50%, and 100%. Many people will mistakenly think that they are referring to the concentration, in fact it refers to the volume of fresh, pure fruits contained in 1 litre of juice. Taking 380 ml of 10% juice as an example, the volume of fruit accounts for 10%. Others are water and food additives. The value of "fruit juice" can be imagined. In some countries where the fruit juice industry is relatively mature, beverages containing only 10% of the fruit volume cannot even be called fruit juice drinks. Otherwise, which is to drink juice, it is simply drinking sweetener pigment water.
