Sweetened Condensed Milk Is Not Kind Of Milk Ready To Drink!
Lately, the debate over the understanding of sweetened condensed milk is once again being discussed. Is this milk good to drink and a daily milk substitute or not? In a telephone call conducted in an open discussion by the Indonesian Health Writing Group, Ir. Doddy Izwardy, MA., As the directorate of nutrition from the Ministry of Health, said if the Ministry of Health is reviewing the rules on ad serving targeted children.
Previously, ad impressions of sweetened condensed milk had been stopped. Actually what makes this type of milk at issue? Is not milk good for child growth? To answer that question, now try to imagine what would happen to the body if every day consume 12 tablespoons sugar? Diabetes? Obesity? Yes, of course!
Sweetened condensed milk is closely related to sugar. Talking about diabetes or obesity, it is the closest health problem that can happen if eating too much sugar and other sweeteners every day.
Sugar contained in a thick can of sweet is not known exactly how the total. If you do not believe, just look at the nutritional facts of sweetened condensed milk products. Is it shown how big the sugar content is? However, it can be estimated if in 100 gr of these products there are 54 grams of sugar. So, how much sugar for one can?
If you are careful, the actual content is tucked in other nutrients, namely carbohydrates. Carbohydrates in addition to functioning as a source of energy, if the amount is excessive than the normal limit the body needs will naturally converted into sugar.
Well, still do not believe that sweetened condensed milk is not recommended for
consumed as ready to drink milk? Here is a list of comparative nutritional content contained in sweetened condensed milk, UHT milk, lowfat milk, and skim milk.
Based on these data, visible sweetened condensed milk is a type of milk that contains the highest carbohydrate. Then, let's connect with the Nutrient Sufficiency Numbers (AKG) that the government has set. This regulation was made not without cause, but based on reports from the World Health Organization (WHO) and national health research data.
In 2013, WHO announces that obese children in Indonesia reach 12 percent. This accounts for quite a large number of obese children in ASEAN, 7 out of 17 million children. Then in 2016, national health research presents a report if there are 20.7 percent of obese people in Indonesia are adults.
Do not stop there, this year a researcher from Indonesia who worked as a health observer at a child hospital in Westmead, Australia, found the fact that Indonesia is a country with the highest obesity rate in Southeast Asia. Quite worrisome, is not it? To that end, Kemenkes expect parents to be more concerned about the nutritional adequacy of their children. Do not be less or excessive.
