TORONTO: As the kids grow up, they usually avoid drinking milk. Many want to consume milk through feeders but unfortunately this is not a good habit.

On the other hand, a lot of kids do not like the odour of cow’s milk.

But do you know the worth of drinking cow’s milk for children? Parents take note as savants, in their latest findings, asserted that those kids who do not ingest fresh milk are highly likely to remain shorter.

For carrying this study out, over 5,000 children have been assessed. Most of them have been reported in-taking non-cow’s milk.

For children aged 1 year and above, this milk is believed to have myriad boons, which, apart from developing healthy brain and bone, is certainly associated with having a taller stature due to its high levels of fat, protein, and calcium content.

The study senior researcher Dr. Jonathon Maguire and colleagues analyzed the kids regarding their daily consumption of cow and non-cow (soy and almond milk).

As per the estimates, some 13 percent kids have been reported drinking non-cow’s milk. However, the amount is expected to increase little by little and the reason behind this is the soaring allergies among little ones.

Because of this, parents adhere to other options, which lack necessary levels of protein. Therefore, connoisseurs opine that manufacturers should increase the levels of required proteins, fats and calcium in the alternatives.

And if kids shun milk because of smell, so parents could add chocolate powders to reduce its odor.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported their findings.
