a day, milk powder mineral content is calculated by the standard upper and lower limit average. The infant water mineral content is calculated at the upper limit indicated by a product. The measured value of tap water comes from a residential area in Beijing. In milligrams.recently, a few hot mom friends around them are deeply entangled. See the Internet said the baby's intestines delicate, drink water should also pay special attention to, pure water lack of minerals no nutrition, tap water is "hard water" will hurt the baby's kidneys or something, some mothers think, do not bite their teeth to buy more expensive than milk on the market "baby (baby) water"?Today, we specifically invite Dr. Zhong Kai, who was born into a father, to talk to you about the mineral content of these "baby water", water hardness and other "scientific evidence" is not reasonable? What kind of water should we drink for our little babies?is "baby water" recommended by WHO?The introduction to "baby water" mentions a very high-end concept,
TDS
", in fact, some inorganic salts and organic matter in the water, the enterprise claims that too much mineral content will cause infant indigestion and constipation, and so on, and pulled out the WHO collection of papers as the basis., however, it is important to note that this collection of papers is only a collection of existing literature and that the statements contained there thereon do not directly represent WHO's official attitudes or conclusions. The collection is called Nutrition in Drinking Water (
Nutrientsdrinking
-
water
), just to develop the Drinking Water Guide
Guidelines
for
-
water quality
,
fourth edition
) and one of the academic literature. It's more about ideas than conclusions that are eventually added to the Guide.water is "hard" or "soft" good?so-called hardness is
of
TDS (dissolved total solids). What is
TDS
? To be clear, the higher
TDS
, the more impurities there are in the water., the WHO Drinking Water Guidelines do not give health guidelines for the hardness of water (
TDS
), nor do they set a ceiling or a lower limit.so-called "WHO believes that too high 'hardness' leads to unacceptable consumers, mainly in terms of the taste, taste and appearance of water, not the health factors that everyone is concerned about."As for "soft water" that contains almost no minerals, such as distilled water and pure water, WHO has not given consumption recommendations because there is insufficient scientific evidence that long-term consumption of these waters is harmful or beneficial to health.In general, the current research is still in progress, the point of view is also in dispute, some people say hard water is good, soft water is not good, but the evidence is not enough, so it is not worth accepting, in the process of continuing to study and see the after-effects, a little wind and grass movement is easy to be used by merchants, consumers should be careful not to be fooled Oh.minerals affect infant health?the minerals we consume actually come mainly from food, and no amount of minerals in any form of drinking water can be compared to our diet. For infants, drinking water also has a far less impact on mineral intake than formula. "hard" tap water in Beijing and other areas, magnesium content seems to have a greater impact on infant intake. However, tap water will not be directly to flush milk powder, but to be boiled, at this time, a lot of calcium and magnesium and other minerals in the water on the formation of scale precipitation, so "hard water" milk powder "to add burden to baby organs" does not need to worry too much. , on the other hand, because mineral intake depends mainly on food and there is no need to worry about "nutritional deficiencies" caused by the lack of pure water from minerals. If you flush milk powder with pure water, it's no problem. If you drink it directly, baby water is not fundamentally different from boiled water. can an infant drink? as long as attention to hygiene, choose qualified products, the baby's drinking water problem does not need to be so tangled. 6 months of age are exclusively breastfed as possible and generally do not need to drink additional water when breastfeeding. milk powder recommends burning tap water or bottled water (pure water and mineral water can be), burning ordinary bottled water of course can, but not cost-effective. drink directly, boiled water or qualified bottled water is recommended by drinking water guidelines. Where the supermarket sells bottled drinking water can be safe to drink, the best road goods, try not to buy the name strange water ("baby water" and tap water boiling as safe). attention to food and beverage hygiene, considering the problem of microbial contamination, it is not recommended to drink directly from the water dispenser out of cold or warm water. The WHO Drinking Water Guidelines set indicators based on health guidelines, i.e. lifetime drinking. The full life cycle, from inf0 to old age, has been considered here, and of course it applies to infants as well. Of course, countries can also set stricter standards based on economic levels, technological capabilities and other conditions. the development of key indicators in our drinking water standards (
GB
5749-2006) are in agreement with WHO, and some of them are even more stringent. China's new national standard for packaged drinking water (
GB
19298-2014) stipulates that the production of packaged drinking water sources should comply with the
GB
5749 regulations. (Zhong Kai)
