Breaking News: Found! the Solution to CMPA
Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is a common condition that affects 7 out of 100 children.1 It occurs as their immune system is sensitive to one or more proteins found in cow’s milk, causing them to experience conditions like colic, diarrhoea, vomiting, skin rash or eczema. Parents’ with children having CMPA may be concerned that they lack nutritional intake from cow’s milk. However, scientists have found the ideal solution to managing CMPA.
Soy is the answer
Soy–based formula is free from milk proteins that cause CMPA and is recommended as an alternative to milk powder.2 However, did you know that not all soy is created equal? Soy beverages such as soyabean milk and soy–based formulas are different in their nutritional values.
