Should infant eat walnut?

Do you know Canada removed cow milk out of daily diet of consumer? It’s to popular to promote industrial products and the important of cow milk but people forgot to drink industrial drinking causes latent diseases, puberty early, aging is early…

Since I have baby, I always prioritize natural food, I think people should to use natural food for healthier and industrial foods should be limited because these modern products aren’t good for us.

Cancer patients have continuously increased so people have to consider many reasons of this status as how does society operate, air pollution, water pollution and especially dirty food. Because I know the important of food, I never bring cow milk to my children’s diet. Beside breast milk, fresh milk, cow milk is only used for fun with my children. To instead of cow milk, I often make nuts milk by myself or roast whole grain for my children to eat as a snack to provide naturally nutrition for them. Nutritious nut plays an important role to make a delicious cup of milk or good diet to replace cow milk.

Specific, according Canadian food instruction, there have 3 food group includes vegetable, fruit, whole grain and full of protein food. In all of them, removing meat group (and meat products) and milk (with dairy products). Simultaneously, the instruction also removes the suggestion adult and children consume 2 from 3 meat ration and milk ration everyday.

Removing meat and milk is agreed by vegetarian and vegan, include Dr. David Jenkins President of Canada Nutrition and Metabolic Research, and he is a professor in Toronto University.  Dr. Jenkins created Glycemic index in 1980s and he conform vegetable diet because of environment.

Doctor said:
“I think that instruction tends to on vegetable which will create controversy but I think which is necessary”. Dr. Jenkins said. Professor of Toronto University also share we confused put cow milk and breast milk together and we confused its importance to health.

You should choose for your child some food suitable for age. It’s difficult that if your child doesn’t teethe you can’t change their diet. With walnut, doctors suggest for children eat when they are less than 1 year and when you can spin walnut with some others kind of vegetable for them to weaning to provide nutrition and promote comprehensive development. You should refer doctor about child’s food content because at the age of 1 year child’s body is very sensitive with food content.
