5 of your mother’s health tips you should ignore - Part 3

Myth: Children can never have enough cow's milk

This myth is surprisingly dangerous for toddlers and children alike. Continuously giving your child more than the recommended amount of cow’s milk daily can lead to iron deficiency anemia and malnutrition. This is because cow’s milk is low in iron and too much of it can cause microscopic amounts of blood loss through the digestive tract. It's best to consult with your physician or with Canada’s Food Guide to determine how much milk your child should be drinking.
