The danger of giving fruit juice to baby

Selalu kita sering kali berprasangka memberikan bayi memakan buah apple adalah sama value nya dengan memberikan homemade apple juice tanpa gula.
Tapi tahukah anda apabila buah tadi di tukarkan dalam bentuk juice, secara tak langsung anda telah membuang fiber yang terdapat dalam buah tadi. Dan menghasilkan gula di dalam juice tadi dalam bentuk yang tak disedari iaitu sukrosa & fruktosa. Itu adalah nama lain selain dari gula atau sugar.
Kehadiran gula di dalam juice tadi menyebabkan juice tadi tidak sesuai diberikan kepada bayi.  Juice tadi sama value nya dengan minuman soda, 100 plus ataupun ice lemon tea.

Sebab itu untuk bayi berusia 12bulan ke bawah, kita galakkan untuk memberikan buah-buahan dalam bentuk puree, smoothies atau dimakan begitu sahaja untuk mengekalkan fiber , active enzymes, bioflavinoids, dan antioksidan yang baik untuk bayi anda. Kerana itu, apabila menyediakan puree anak anda terbaik, janganlah ditapis puree atau bubur tadi. Menapis hanya akan membuang/menyingkirkan fiber dari buah/sayuran tadi.

Di SINI ada di kongsi kan keburukan memberikan juice kepada bayi, antaranya:

• Reduced Breastmilk or Formula Consumption.
• Dental Decay.  Some children have difficulty absorbing and digesting fruit juices, and this leads to symptoms of colic, gas, and abdominal pain in many children, especially those who are given excessive amounts of juice. Lacking the enzymes in whole fruit, fruit-sugars found in juice may cause flatulence, diarrhea, and other discomforts.
• Harmful Additives.
• Indadequate Nutrition. Nutritionally speaking, fruit juice is not much different than sugar-water with some additional vitamins.
  Whole fruit meals are preferable to fruit juices, and they are equally enjoyable for most babies. Pureed, mashed, or solid fruits are loaded with fiber, active enzymes, bioflavinoids, and antioxidants, and provide a number of valuable health benefits to infants and young children.
  
  
  The reason you do not want to have fruit juice is because you are taking all the fiber out of the fruit, and what you are getting is a big hit of sugar. So that really is not any better then drinking sweeten soda or sports drink or sweeten ice tea. Yes your getting little bit more in the way of nutrients, but your getting such a big hit of sugar.
  Do not give fruit juices to a baby under one year of age, unless specifically instructed to do so by your pediatrican. Juices provide no nutritional benefits over whole fruit and should especially be avoided by babies under six months of age.
