Last week, while waiting for my son’s name to be called for his turn at Klinik Famili, we saw this interesting video that related to our previous post regarding the added sugar in growing up milk. It really catches our attention. Eager to view the video again, we Google them and viola, we found them on youtube! There are 5 parts of short videos which I already embed them as below:

Generally in Malaysia, most of the growing up milk powder that available in the market contains too much of added sugars.  These added sugars commonly known as corn syrup solids, glucose syrup solids and sucrose.

Too much consumption of added sugars are not good for your child’s health and growth. It will only give many health problems to your child such as an obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney problem and much more disease.

Why is it important to use a non added sugars milk powder for your child’s growth? Ask yourself if your child’s need nutrition’s without added sugar or nutrition’s with added sugars? Hint - Added sugars serve no nutritional purpose and they are NOT needed.

How to look for these added sugars in your child’s milk powder? It’s very easy…just take 1 minute of your time to read the ingredient label of the product’s to identify the added sugars (corn syrup solids, glucose syrup solids and sucrose). Please read through all the list as it’s possible that there are more than 1 added sugar contains in the products!

Please be an extra cautious when some product claim’s that they mention that their product contains “no added sucrose” or “sucrose free”. It is because the products may still contain other types of added sugars such as corn syrup or glucose syrup solids

Again after nearly a year we changed to Anmum Essential, they are the only growing up milk that contains non added sugar. Lastly, for a healthier choice for you and your family, please make it a habit to look and consume foods and drinks that labeled as “no added sugars” or "less sugars" or "sugar free”.
