2 truths about bone broth
Low nutrient density
Nutrient density refers to the nutrient density of the food, that is, the concentration of important nutrients (vitamins, minerals and proteins) contained in a unit of calories as the basis.

As for the other nutrients in the soup, it can be ignored, because the main components of the soup are actually fat and water.
And parents who want to give their children calcium supplements through soup may be disappointed.
Every 100 milliliters of milk contains about 104 milligrams of calcium, while 100 milliliters of pork bone soup contains only 2 milligrams of calcium, which is no better than tap water, and a bowl of soup is no more substantial than a sip of milk.

Impact on nutritional intake
"Drinking soup before a meal makes you slimmer and healthier" is a true statement, especially for dieters. But for children who are growing up, it's better to drink less.
Often too much soup to the child before meals, easy to occupy the belly, affecting the child's appetite for meals. If you drink too much soup, you'll naturally eat less.

Soaking rice in soup
Some parents like to soak the soup in the rice for their children to eat, thinking that this makes the rice easier to swallow.
It's easy for children to swallow food without chewing it carefully, which puts pressure on the stomach and intestines.
Long-term, it is also easy to let the child does not get enough chewing exercise, affecting the development of chewing function, and even lead to the baby dysarthria, lisp.
In fact, for the soup, it is not recommended to give children under 1 year old to drink, and even more than 1 year old children are not recommended to drink too much.
You can let your child try a little soup, but if you want to rely on soup to supplement your child's nutrition, I urge you to give up on this idea as soon as possible!
