Is milk tea okay for kids?

Walking on the street, you will find many little girls holding a cup of milk tea. There are all kinds of milk tea from major brands, including COCO, Yidiandian, Sujiang Thai Tea, etc. These are all Internet celebrity brands. However, many children also like to drink milk tea very much. In fact, the amount of milk and tea in milk tea is very little, which is not good for children's growth and development. This article puts forward some suggestions. Let's take a look.

Since the milk content of milk tea is very low, most of them are added with thickeners to enhance the taste. Eating a small amount of thickeners will not have much effect on the body. So you can drink milk tea in small amounts, but drinking too much is harmful to your body.

Suggestions:

It is recommended not to give babies too much milk tea. Even for adults, consuming too much thickener is harmful to the body, let alone children.

Milk or infant formula is rich in nutrients and can meet the baby's growth and development needs. If a child drinks too much milk, it will inevitably lead to less eating and drinking formula, affecting the child's nutrient absorption.

Drinking pearl milk tea can easily cause intestinal infarction.

There are many causes of intestinal obstruction, mainly foreign bodies in the intestine, intussusception, congenital intestinal malformations, etc. Another common situation is that after severe pneumonia or intestinal infection, inflammation weakens intestinal motility, causing slow or stagnant passage of intestinal contents, leading to intestinal obstruction.

For children under three years old, they are not good at chewing food and prefer to swallow it directly, so they are more likely to suffer from foreign body intestinal obstruction.

In addition, fresh persimmons and candied dates can easily cause intestinal obstruction in young children. Young children have relatively weak digestive functions, and persimmons and candied dates contain tannic acid, which, when reacting with stomach acid, easily forms lumps that are insoluble in water and cannot be digested.
