The news that "Milk powder is suspected to cause premature infantisation" has caused many parents to worry, and many netizens believe that milk and vitamins are all nutritional products that may make children appear to be precocious puberty, leaving parents in a hurry. What food hormone levels will be higher in life and what foods do not have to worry about? Liu Qingchun, deputy director of the General Hospital of the Armed Police Force, helped parents solve problems.
What foods in our lives are prone to contain large amounts of hormones?
Ripening fruit
First of all, plant foods do not contain excessive hormones. However, there is a special case that fruits that are “ripenedâ€, such as some fruits and fruits listed in advance, are often ripened with phytoerythrin. The hormones contained in these erythrocytes can promote fruit development, growth and early maturation. Typical is "etheny". At the same time, this ripening fruit will retain hormones. Therefore, when buying fruits, parents must pay attention to the time of the season. Fruits that have passed the morning market, untimely seasons, and excessive redness are not to buy.
Soybean
Many parents are more concerned about the soybeans in plant foods, because many people know that soy isoflavones can regulate the body's endocrine, then soy, soy milk and other soy products contain hormones?
Soybeans and other soy products contain a kind of “phytoestrogenâ€, which is a kind of hormone. It has biological activity similar to that of animal estrogens, but its effect is much weaker than that of estrogen. Therefore, it has little effect on the human body in terms of hormones. Normal consumption does not cause hormonal abnormalities.
animal organs
What hormones are higher in animal foods?
Liu Qingchun: Because hormones are mainly found in the blood, the hormone content in meat is higher, especially in the internal organs of animals. Therefore, animal internal organs cannot eat too much; at the same time, for many chickens and ducks, hormone-containing feed is often used. Feeding, fattening, leading to these meats contains a lot of hormones; In addition, there are some fish, there are reports that direct feeding contraceptives prolonged. The hormone content of such food is larger than ordinary food. Therefore, when buying chicken, duck, fish and shrimp, you must go to a regular store to purchase trademarked and guaranteed food.
Health products
Nutrition, health products, these substances contain hormones?
Liu Qingchun: For example, bone meal and other things do have a certain effect on children's growth, but their effects are limited. For better results, some businesses illegally add hormones to promote growth. Therefore, for parents, they must not arbitrarily give their children nutritional supplements. If the child is considered to be short, diagnosis and treatment should be conducted under the guidance of a professional doctor. If hormone supplementation is really needed, it must be done under the guidance of a doctor.
In terms of diet, children need the most balanced diet, as long as the diet is balanced, there will be no large intake of certain foods, and the risk of excessive intake of hormones is even lower. Absolutely can't think of replacing natural nutrient intake with additional supplements: for example, meat is replaced with protein powder and fruits and vegetables are replaced with multivitamin tablets. These are artificially disrupted nutritional balance even if there is no problem of precocious puberty. There will also be health problems.
