For many generations, people in India have relied on cow's
full fat organic milk for meeting the nutritional needs of babies and toddlers.
The use of cow's full cream milk for toddlers has turned out to be a good
practice, as it has helped our young ones to grow mentally and physically
strong. Even toned milk has worked well since double toned milk nutrition is
mostly the same as full fat organic milk, excluding of course the amount of fat
content.
However, in recent times, many brands have started offering
plant based milk products such as almond milk. This is not a sustainable
development since it has been proven in laboratory studies that plant based
milk products such as almond milk is not a whole food and is nutrient
deficient. A case supporting this deficient nature of plant based milk products
has recently come up in Spain. In this case, a 11-month baby, who was drinking
only almond milk, has been diagnosed with Scurvy, a disease that is caused by
the deficiency of Vitamin C. Details of this case have been published in the
Pediatrics journal and it points out to the risks associated with plant based
milk products for babies and toddlers. The baby was severely affected, as he
used to be very unstable when in the sitting position. He remained tired and irritable,
and would find it difficult to stand on a solid surface. Femur fractures were
found during medical examination and extremely low Vitamin C levels, which
prompted doctors to diagnose it as Scurvy.
Some experts opine that in this particular case, the
synthetic chemicals used in processing almond milk may be inhibiting the
absorption of essential nutrients such as Vitamin C. Plant based milk products
such as almond milk may appear to be nutrient rich in theory, but what they are
essentially is factory produced and laden with chemicals. In comparison, cow’s
full fat organic milk and cow’s full cream milk for toddlers are 100% natural,
safe and healthy.
Using plant based milk products is like going against
nature. This may not be good since we are yet to fully understand how nature
and our bodies work, especially in the long term. Till things are clearer, it
would be a wise decision to use natural food sources such as full fat organic
milk and full cream milk for toddlers. Even toned milk would be good since
double toned milk nutrition is not very different from full fat milk, if you
exclude the fat portion.
