Milk-containing beverages are made from milk or dairy products, such as active milk and AD calcium milk. It is divided into two categories: one is fermented milk-containing beverage, in which lactic acid bacteria beneficial to human body are added for fermentation besides milk; The other is a milk-containing beverage, which is made of milk as raw material and added with water, sugar and sour agent. So fundamentally speaking, milk-containing beverage is only a kind of beverage containing some milk, and its nutritional value is far behind that of milk. The milk we are talking about includes liquid milk (such as pure milk, milk of various colors and condensed milk), fermented milk (such as yogurt) and solid milk (such as milk powder). The nutritional components of liquid emulsion or milk powder emulsion prepared according to the instructions should be close to fresh milk. Take the content of protein as an example. According to the national standard, the protein of pure milk and flavored milk should not be less than 2.9g per 100mL emulsion, that is, the protein content of products called "milk" or "milk" should not be less than 2.3g/ 100mL to ensure their nutritional value, otherwise they cannot be called "milk". Milk beverage is different from milk, because water is added to the ingredients, and its protein content is relatively low, and milk beverage is not less than 1.0g/mL. Lactic acid beverage or lactic acid bacteria beverage is not less than 0.7g/ 100mL. It can be seen that the content of protein in milk-containing beverages is only about 1/3 of that of milk, and there is a big gap between milk fat and vitamins. Therefore, some consumers give their children milk-containing drinks for a long time, which will inevitably affect their growth and development.
There are several reasons why consumers regard milk-containing drinks as milk: First, they lack nutrition knowledge. I don't know that although milk-containing drinks contain milk, their nutritional value is far less than that of milk. Others think that milk-containing drinks are milk. Second, don't look at the ingredients list carefully when buying products. The names of milk-containing beverages are generally ×× milk and ×× milk. Some products have a big word "milk", which is very different from the word "beverage". There is no such word as "drink". Careless consumers will think that they bought milk instead of drinks. Third, the milk-containing beverage tastes fresh and refreshing, which is more popular with children than pure milk. Consumers should form the habit of checking labels carefully when buying goods, and also have certain nutrition knowledge.
As a unique variety in the beverage industry, milk-containing beverage has been welcomed by consumers since it came out, and its nutrition and taste are incomparable with other beverages. So we don't object to drinking milk-containing drinks, but we don't advocate drinking milk-containing drinks as milk.
