Learning from Experience, Zaskia Adya Mecca Does Not Give Her Children Sweetened Condensed Milk

Kapanlagi.com - Not long ago, artist Zaskia Adya Mecca posted a tweet about the effects of her childhood habit of drinking condensed milk. The post became popular and caught the attention of netizens.

Zaskia admitted that since she was a child, she was often given condensed milk by her mother. As a child, she enjoyed being given sweet food and drinks.

In the BPOM regulations, it is explained that condensed milk is a liquid form of dairy product, following link.

This happened because her mother didn't know that condensed milk is not actually a milk drink for children. Unlike nowadays, where mothers can get a lot of information from the internet.

"Back then, information was not as easy as now, so my mother gave me anything, including condensed milk, and we were happy as children," Zaskia said, recounting her childhood experience.

1. Poor Eating Habits

The effects were felt when she turned 29. When she had to check and control her health, her blood and cholesterol levels were high.

She claims that this is due to poor eating habits when she was a child. One of them includes consuming sweetened condensed milk.

Although Zaskia already has an ideal body weight, she has high cholesterol. This is because the milk contains more sugar.

"When I was 29 years old, when I checked my blood, my cholesterol was a bit strange, why is everything high? Even though my weight is ideal. This is the effect of my eating habits since childhood," explained Zaskia.

2. Check the Content of Milk Products

Having an inappropriate experience in childhood, Zaskia is now learning. For the health of her children, especially in choosing milk, Hanung Bramantyo's wife is very careful.

She doesn't want her children to later experience negative effects when they become teenagers and then adults. As a mother, Zaskia must always pay attention to the health of her family.

This mother of six children admits that she must learn a lot. One of them is by always studying the composition of a milk product.

"I have to be a mother who learns a lot. So whatever I give to my child, I have to study its composition. Including condensed milk, in my opinion, it is somewhat wrong, it is called milk in front because it should only be condensed milk, it contains more sugar," Zaskia concluded.
