There are many types of milk on the market. How should we choose? The key is to look at this indicator!

Milk is favored by people as a source of high-quality protein, calcium and other nutrients. There are many types of milk on the market, so how should we choose?

In fact, when choosing milk, remember to pay attention to these three points:

Just look at the product name. If it has the word "beverage" or "drink" in it, it is definitely not milk, but a beverage.

Second, look at the ingredients. If the first ingredient is not "cow's milk" or "reconstituted milk", it is definitely not milk. Reconstituted milk is a dairy product made from milk powder, which is reconstituted into milk by adding a certain proportion of water.

Third, look at the nutrition label. For the same type of products, try to choose products with higher protein and calcium content and lower carbohydrate and sodium content. According to the "General Principles of Pre-packaged Food Labeling", ingredients should be listed from most to least. Try to choose products with no additives or less additives.
