Expert: Low DHA milk powder needs to be supplemented
The new version of the Food Nutrition Enhancer Standard (Consultation Draft) posted on the official website of the Ministry of Health recently stated that the percentage of DHA in total formula in children formula powder must be ≤ 0.5%. Does this mean that the DHA content of infant formula in China is already high, and it is necessary to limit the amount of added? But in fact, it's not. The reporter visited the Guangzhou market and found that many brands of milk powder have been marked with DHA content. However, compared with the recommended amount pointed out by experts, the amount of DHA light required by a normal developing baby is not enough from the milk powder. New country regulations DHA milk powder limited because too much? At a certain infant milk powder counter on a certain island in Guangzhou, the reporter saw the promotion of DHA on the front of each milk powder package. In the 2nd Wyeth Golden Pack, the “DHA†is marked on the packaging's prominent position; the other is called Dumex Milk Powder in the middle of the pack and is marked with “Optimized DHA†in a special font; Nestle Milk Powder is also In the prominent position of the package, the words "DHA" were added, and the substance was "emphasizing the development of the brain". Among the Mead Johnson milk powder sold in Guangzhou, one was specifically marked "4 times more DHA/ARA". While the major brands of milk powder are playing “DHA Nutrition Brandâ€, the Ministry of Health recently released a new version of the Food Nutrition Enhancer Standard (Consultation Draft) but clearly states: Prepared Milk Powder and Prepared Cream Powder (including flavored milk powder The percentage of docosahexaenoic acid (ie, DHA) in the total fatty acids must be ≤ 0.5% in whey cream powder. Does this mean that the DHA that is advertised by various brands of milk powder on the market may be limited due to high content? "This is not the case. All brands of infant milk powder on the market, whether made domestically or imported, have DHA content below 0.5% defined in this standard." Jiang Zhuoqin, professor of nutrition at Sun Yat-sen University, told reporters that the country has introduced this DHA. The limited standard is only considered due to the oversupply of negative effects and is scientific and reasonable. Because DHA is good for the development of infants and young children, but if excessive, it will easily oxidize milk powder, so that milk powder taste, quality decline; children eat too much DHA may also lead to decreased immunity, and even lead to decreased coagulation, resulting in difficult bleeding after bleeding . Expert statement Light milk powder supplements DHA The state issued the standard to prevent overdosing of DHA, but according to the reporter’s understanding, Guangzhou moms need not worry about this because “good DHA is extracted from algae oil, which is very expensive internationally. The cost of milk powder is also one of the highest costs, so even if you want more manufacturers, manufacturers can not add a lot for cost considerations, more than the national standard is even more impossible." An unwilling to name Industry sources told reporters. The person also affirmed that the DHA of most baby formulas on the market has not reached the international recommended quantity. “The international recommended quantity is that the infant’s daily intake is 20 mg per kilogram of body weight, and now domestic sales of milk powder are far from reaching This indicator.†The person also revealed to reporters that the content of DHA in milk powder currently has no minimum standard in China, that is, as long as it is added with DHA, no matter how much, it can be labeled as “containing DHAâ€. “Now the milk powder that domestic infants and young children eat is not a problem of excessive DHA, but is a serious shortage of DHA. Because most DHA content in milk powder is small, some domestic powdered milk even take the opportunity to hit the ball. There is only a very slight amount of it. DHA also advertises that it is 'rich in DHA', and mothers must look at the specific DHA content when buying milk powder, not the 'rich DHA' that is advertised." 1 year old baby's DHA nutrition recipe How much DHA does a baby drink in a day? How much DHA do your baby need? Can light milk powder DHA supplement enough? Many of these issues are still not clear to the mother. The reporters of Xin Express reported that they had referenced a one-year-old baby who did not have enough nutritional supplements and a one-year-old baby who had a normal physical body. He analyzed the nutritional needs and intake of the two babies. The amount of DHA will be the most, and whether the DHA intake of the light powdered milk is sufficient and what other food supplements are needed.
