Lately I heard news about milk product having too much sugar. I read an article on a certain website claiming that there is too much added sugar in milk powder. They have a sugar calculator in the website to convert carbohydrates into amount of sugar. Now I am not sure if this is correctly done scientifically because not all carbohydrates translate to sugar. Some carbohydrates are converted into energy.

I don’t believe that milk powder is the main contributor to a child’s obesity. I would say it is the candies, the chocolates, fast food like pizza, burgers, French fries and others. Remember that exercise is very important to burn the sugar intake too. With all the electronic games, TV and electronic gadgets, it is extra hard to get a child to exercise. We must take them out to do some running, walking or cycling too, definitely good for the body!

We also have to ensure the milk powder that your child is consuming has the essential nutrients needed for development and growth. I understand that Mamil Gold is one such milk powder which has all the essential nutrients. What more, it has very minimal added sugars, well under the Ministry of Health guidelines and standards.

It is very important as mothers to read and survey the products we used for our children. We want them to stay healthy all the time, don’t we?

Do you know that Mamil Gold also has a property called IMMUNOFORTIS to help support your child’s natural defenses so they don’t fall sick easily?
