Are you like me who find growing up milk excessively sweet?<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I saw in a message at the supermarket that we could be feeding our children up 13tsp of added sugar with their current growing up milk. So I picked up a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.semakgula.com.my\">sugar calculator<\/a>, follow the instructions on it to cross check if is true. <\/p>\n<p>The girls so far have taken 2 brands of growing up milk. First brand indicated I might be feeding 8~12tsp of additional sugar to my children, and another indicated I might be feeding 13~17tsp of additional sugar to my children! Shocking? <\/p>\n<p>And here I am trying to control the girls\u2019 excessive sugar intake (which I wrote about in an earlier <a href=\"http:\/\/mytwogirls.net\/?p=3049\">post<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>I have tasted the girls\u2019 growing up milk before, and I thought it is too sweet. I thought it must have been intentionally sweetened so that it\u2019ll be tasty enough to appeal to young children. However my girls like fresh milk too. Without the added sugar, they still love the creamy and milky taste (per how they describe it). I\u2019m still letting them drink growing up milk though, because I want them to get all the added vitamins they\u2019d included in growing up milk. <\/p>\n<p>However, with this new information, I will try to find children growing up milk with no added sugars, or with less added sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Read the label next time you pick up a tin or pack of growing up milk. Even though you can\u2019t see all these common names of added sugar (i.e. <strong>corn syrup solid<\/strong>, <strong>sucrose &#038; glucose syrup solid<\/strong>), check the <strong>Carbohydrate level <\/strong>with the sugar calculator. Use the sugar calculator to find out how much sugar you\u2019ll be feeding your children additionally with the growing up milk you are about to purchase. I\u2019m definitely going to do that.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mytwogirls.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5545-1.jpg\" alt=\"The girls' growing up milk 1\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 450px; cursor: hand; text-align: center\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mytwogirls.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_5544-1.jpg\" alt=\"The girls' growing up milk 2\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 450px; cursor: hand; text-align: center\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/mytwogirls.net\/?p=3155\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 223776;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you tried your children\u2019s growing up milk?
