Question
Is it appropriate for children to drink milk every day? My child is now 1 year and 11 months old, and they need to drink a 220ml fresh milk bag around 8 am, 3 pm, and 9 pm each day. Some people say that this amount of milk consumption is harmful to the kidneys and that one should not exceed 200ml per day. Is this statement correct?
Answer
Milk is rich in nutrients and suitable for daily consumption. It is highly beneficial for the growth and development of children. Milk contains a wealth of nutrients such as protein, calcium, iron, zinc, phospholipids, making it a nutritious product suitable for all age groups. Moreover, milk is the best source of calcium, with an appropriate calcium-phosphorus ratio that aids in the absorption of calcium in the body. At the same time, drinking milk regularly does not lead to tuberculosis. However, it is important to note that freshly squeezed milk should be boiled before drinking to achieve sterilization and disinfection.
