Milk is a food ingredient that is important for the child. In addition to containing protein, calcium, riboflavin, vitamin A and Zinc, milk was instrumental in becoming a transport of vitamin D and iron.

A research conducted by j. Brand-Miller and f. Atkinson of the University of Sidney, NSW 2011 Australia with the title ' Added Carbohydrates in Milk Increase the children's Dietary Load Glyacemic ' committed against the 7 types of milk products the growth of children who many circulating in Indonesia and Malaysia, found 6 products milk contain additional sugar that has a glikemik index (GI) is high.

"Sugar-containing dairy products extras such as sucrose, glucose syrup, maltodextrins and may increase energy density, reducing the nutritional value of milk and a tendency to excess insulin and glikemia," explains Dr. Dr. Fiastuti Witjaksono, MSc, MS, SP. GK, nutritionists clinic of the Department of Nutrition is SUPPORTED-RSCM, in Educational Media event ' Identify types of sugar addition, Index and load Glikemik And its effects on child!

Milk growth on the child containing an excess of carbohydrates (sugars), continued DR. Fiastuti, can lead to obesity (overweight) in children. In addition, excess sugar also makes the child the opportunity to suffer coronary heart disease.

"Children who consume foods with a high index of glikemik (quickly raise blood sugar) tend to have a high appetite and an unhealthy weight, bothering the child sleep thus affecting quality of the learning process and the development of emotion," explains Prof. Dr. Jose Rizal Latief coal, SpA (K), PhD, is Professor of Endocrine-RSCM Children.

In addition, the young age group are particularly vulnerable to high-carb load, which causes blood sugar levels and meningkatknya in the long run can lead to diabetes type 2 (due to lifestyle).

Children who are experiencing overweight or obese may experience the same thing as adults, as well as at risk of having type 2 diabetes and heart disease-in the future.

Research also has shown that poor nutrition status in childhood can affect brain function and potentially affect cognitive development and behavior.

To that end, parents should always pay attention to the nutrition label on the packaging of milk growth for children, especially for the additional sugar or sucrose.

Milk powder without sugar added will usually have the same index value glikemik with cow's milk, which is 30. Whereas milk with added sugar can reach high glikemik index ranging from 55-69.
