Do babies under 6 months drink juice? ! American Academy of Pediatrics amended this statement

Children under 1

Absolutely no need to drink fruit juice

The American Academy of Pediatrics began to provide the public with suggestions for children to drink juice from 2001. The latest version of the "Children's Drinking Juice Guide" is available online on May 22.

Previously, the American Academy of Pediatrics had always recommended not to give fruit juice to children under 6 months of age. But they said that given the growing evidence that drinking juice may cause obesity and cavities in children, it was decided to raise the age of not drinking juice from 6 months to 1 year.

One of the two main authors of the guide, Melvin Hyman, professor of pediatrics at the University of California, San Francisco, said: "Parents may think that juice is healthy, but it may contain more sugar and calories and is not suitable for replacing fresh fruit. Older children can drink the right amount of juice, but children under the age of 1 need absolutely no juice."

"I didn't find any reason to support 6 to 12 months of children drinking juice," said Steven Abrams, another lead author of the guide, director of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Texas at Dale School of Medicine. "We recommend In this age group, breastfeeding or formula should be used. Juice does not have any necessary or beneficial effects, so we made this adjustment."

Children under 18

The amount of fruit juice to drink is also controlled

This guideline recommends limiting the fruit juice consumption of children under 18 years of age.

For children under 1-3 years old, the daily juice intake is no more than half a cup (4 ounces, approximately 120 milliliters);

For children aged 4-6 years, daily juice intake should not exceed 3/4 cups (4-6 ounces, approximately 120-180 ml);

Juveniles 7 to 18 years old, the daily juice intake no more than 1 cup (8 ounces, about 240 ml).

What is 240 ml? In the market, a can of Coca-Cola is 330 ml.

Abrams said: "Fresh fruit is less sugary than fruit juice. We want children to learn how to eat fresh things. If you think juice is equivalent to fruit, then you are completely wrong."

The New York Times took Apple for example: half a cup (4 ounces) of apple chips contains 1.5 grams of fiber, 30 calories and 5.5 grams of sugar; and half a cup (4 ounces) of apple juice contains 0 grams of fiber, 30 calories and 13 Sugar.

"The New York Times" concluded that fresh fruit contains more dietary fiber, less calories and sugar than juice, and thus less likely to cause obesity and tooth decay in children.

This guide also makes the following recommendations:

1. Don't give your child a bottle or a portable sipper cup for juice. This will allow them to drink juice all day long.

2. Do not drink juice before going to bed.

3. Parents should allow their children to develop the habit of eating fresh fruits.

4. Regardless of the age of the child, it is highly recommended not to drink unpasteurized juice products.

5. When the body is dehydrated or diarrhea, it is not suitable for drinking juice.

6. Children who take certain drugs cannot drink grapefruit juice, which may affect the drug's medicinal properties.

7. Do not mistakenly believe that not drinking juice will damage the child's dietary nutrition. Liquid intake is enough for infants and young children, breastmilk or formula. For older children, low-fat/skim milk and water are also sufficient.

Why drink fruit juice for no good?

1, easy to make children become fat pier

Because we only take the fruit juice and discard the scum of fruit, we do not add water and ice, so three or five fruits can squeeze out a glass of juice. Speaking of eating fruit, we may only eat one orange at a time, but if we drink orange juice, two or three oranges may fall into the stomach within minutes.

It can be said that a cup of fruit juice is made by condensing the sugar of many fruits. According to the same amount, the calories of the juice even exceed the calories of the soda, a glass of fresh orange juice contains 112 calories, apple juice contains 114 calories, grape juice contains 152 calories. Calories, while the same weight of Coca-Cola contains 97 calories, Pepsi contains 100 calories. It can be seen that the heat of the fruit juice exceeds the soda that is generally considered to be higher in calories.

Condensing fruit juices with multiple fruits so that children often drink easily become Xiaopeng pier, but also make children love sweets, increase the risk of obesity in children.

2, containing high fructose, adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular

A lot of fructose in the juice is very easy to be converted into fat by the liver, University of California scientist Stanhope pointed out that a lot of fructose intake will increase the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Researchers at the University of Denver in the United States reported at the annual meeting of the American College of Nephrology that the study found that daily intake of fructose over 74 grams will greatly increase the risk of elevated blood pressure.

3, the serious loss of fresh juice vitamins, prone to cause constipation

Many people believe that freshly squeezed fruit juices will not result in the loss of nutrients in the fruit and are very nutritious. However, after extensive research, it has been found that during the fresh pressing process, all kinds of nutrients in the fruits will be damaged, especially the vitamins rich in vitamins contained in the fruit are serious. The researchers measured the freshly squeezed cucumber juice, pear juice, watermelon juice, and carrot juice and found that vitamins were lost to different degrees. The most serious ones even lost 90% of the vitamins. This result is very surprising!

And after fresh pressing, the cell wall of the fruit is destroyed, and vitamin C will be exposed to oxidation in the air. Many elderly people have bad teeth, in order to supplement the vitamins in the fruit, they often drink some fruit juice instead of eating fruit, but due to the large amount of vitamin C in the freshly squeezed process, the dietary fiber is damaged to varying degrees. Drinking, it is easy to cause constipation problems.

Doctor: Do not eat or drink fruit

Zhang Pinghong, director of the Department of Nutrition of Zhe-Jing Second Hospital, believes that the "Chinese Dietary Guidelines" is the most authoritative stipulation for Chinese diets.

According to the "Chinese Dietary Guidelines," infants within 6 months of age are advised to exclusively breastfeed, and infants aged 7-24 months need to continue breastfeeding and gradually introduce various foods. Starting with iron-rich foods such as iron-enriched baby rice flour and pureed meat, gradually increase the variety of foods and gradually transition to semi-solid or solid foods such as rotten noodles, minced meat, chopped vegetables, and fruit granules.

“Fruit granules are not fruit juices, they are solid things.” Zhu Xianli, director of pediatrics at Zhejiang Tongde Hospital, said that our medical textbook Pediatrics (People's Medical Publishing House, 8th edition) clearly stated:

6 months old, feed muddy food: vegetable puree, fruit puree, iron-containing formula rice flour, formula milk;

7-9 months old, feeding the end of food: soft rice, minced meat, dried vegetables, eggs, fish paste, fruit, tofu, rice formula;

10-12 months old, broken food: soft rice, minced meat, broken vegetables, eggs, fish, soy products, fruits.

Ju Xianli concluded: "So, 6 months ago, I didn't have to eat fruit and juice at all. For infants and toddlers aged 6-12 months, they only eat or drink."
