Not every milk makes you strong…
Child:
Mummy, my friend drinks milk every day, and aunty says it makes children grow fast.
So why don’t you buy the sweet, thick milk in tins for me?
Mother (smiles knowingly):
Yes, darling, milk can help the body grow…
But not all milk is the same.
Child (confused):
But mummy, milk is milk, right?
Mother (shakes head):
No, love.
Fresh milk has protein, calcium, and vitamins.
But many of the “milks” we see in tins and cartons are loaded with sugar, flavoring, and preservatives.
Condensed milk, flavored milk, and even some powdered ones can cause obesity, cavities, and diabetes when taken too much.
Child (eyes wide):
So the sweet one is actually harmful?
Mother (gently):
Yes, my love. The sweeter it tastes, the more sugar it carries.
That’s why we must take milk in moderatio, and choose healthier options when we can.
Child (smiling):
Mummy, can I drink plain milk with fruit instead?
Mother (happily):
Of course, sweetheart. That way, you get the strength without the sickness.
Real health is not in the sweetness—it’s in the substance.
Health is wealth ✍️ 💯
