As
little yolkie is in a growing age, he always wanted to grow big and tall, at
least taller than the girls in his class. So we told him, the only way to do
that is to drink a lot of MILK!
However,
ever since milk were commercialised, a lot of colouring, sweetener and other
additives were added to make it taste good so that kids love them. That
eventually became a concern of parents like us. Too much sugar in a child's
diet is never a good thing.
With
that said, we need to survey the content of all the milk products being sold in
the market and it’s easier said than done. Well, the good news is, the Health
Ministry came up with a brilliant idea! The ministry helps to identify the
healthier products on the shelf and gave it s HCL stamp! (well, literally…)
HCL actually stands for “Healthier Choice” Logo endorsed by the Ministry of
Health. Government introduced “Healthier Choice” logo to help consumers to make
healthier purchases on the food and beverages that they purchase in ensuring it
meets certain level of nutrients criteria especially in terms of sugar
intake/level.
Statistically,
Malaysian has one of the highest rates of diabetes among our neighbouring
countries. There are about 2.5 million adults with diabetes in Malaysia , those
aged 18 and above, which means, 1 out of 6 young adults had diabetes!!!
So when we ought to be extra careful when choosing products from the shelves. Always look for products with HCL logo and read the nutritional table before making the final decision.
