Many parents lament that their children are growing slower than their peers. There are many reasons for this; beyond genetics and heredity, healthy diet is also a major factor affecting a child's development. Recently, a major study from Canada has revealed a shocking secret that affects a child's height.
Researchers at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto analyzed and compared the height, weight, and blood samples of more than 5,000 Toronto children. They were between the ages of 2 and 6. 13% of the children drank plant-based milk alternatives, while the rest drank cow's milk.
The results showed that among 3-year-olds, children who drank milk alternatives were on average 1.5 centimeters shorter than those who drank cow's milk.
Researchers analyzed that this might be because the protein contained in cow's milk is more conducive to growth. Two cups of milk contain 16 grams of protein, which meets the daily protein intake standard for a three-year-old. However, two cups of almond milk generally contain only 6 grams of protein. Canada has regulations on the nutritional content of cow's milk, but not on milk alternatives.
Professional pediatricians state: This study shows the relationship between milk alternatives and height, but you cannot simply say that drinking milk alternatives will prevent a child from growing. Over the past decade, the number of children drinking milk alternatives has been growing steadily. Most of this is for health reasons, but some parents make this choice for social or environmental reasons.
