MME - Når vi snakker om tradisjonell tankegang om kosthold

MME lages ikke for å være identisk med MM - den lages for å være bioekvivalent - dvs. oppføre seg likt i kroppen med liknende lipidnivåer og blodsukkernivåer i blodet.

Kunne du utdypet dette litt?

MM er et komplekst naturprodukt som består av en kompleks blanding av komplekse karbohydrater, lipider (dvs. fett) og proteiner i tillegg til vitaminer og mineraler. MME lages ikke for å simulere MM. I stedet lager man noe som oppfører seg på samme måten i kroppen - som gir samme konsentrasjon av lipider og glukose i blodet etter inntak i tillegg til at det f.eks. gir ønsket vekst hos spedbarnet.

Sitat:

Infant formulae are intended to serve as a substitute for breast milk in infants who cannot be fed at the breast, or should not receive breast milk, or for whom breast milk is not available (5). The composition of infant formulae should serve to meet the particular nutritional requirements and to promote normal growth and development of the infants for whom they are intended. Data on the composition of human milk of healthy, well-nourished women can provide some guidance for the composition of infant formulae, but gross compositional similarity is not an adequate determinant or indicator of the safety and nutritional adequacy of infant formulae. Human milk composition shows remarkable variation. Moreover, there are considerable differences in the bioavailability and metabolic effects of similar contents ofmany specific nutrients in human milk and formula, respectively. Therefore, the adequacy of infant formula
composition should be determined by a comparison of its effects on physiological (e.g. growth patterns), biochemical (e.g. plasma markers) and functional (e.g. immune responses) outcomes in infants fed formulae with those found in populations of healthy, exclusively breast-fed infants.

The IEG concludes that infant formulae should only contain components in such amounts that serve a nutritional
purpose or provide another benefit. The inclusion of unnecessary components, or unnecessary amounts of
components, may put a burden on metabolic and other physiologic functions of the infant. Those components
taken in the diet, which are not utilized or stored by the body, have to be excreted, often as solutes in the urine.
Since water available to form urine is limited and the infant’s ability to concentrate urine is not fully developed
during the first months of life, the need to excrete any additional solutes will reduce the margin of safety, especially
under conditions of stress, such as fever, diarrhea or during weight loss. Minimum and maximum values of nutrient contents in
infant formulae are suggested with the goal to provide safe and nutritionally adequate infant formula products
that meet the nutritional requirements of healthy babies. The IEG considered that such minimum and maximum
values should be based, where available, on adequate scientific data on infant requirements and the absence of
adverse effects. In the absence of an adequate scientific evaluation, minimum and maximum values should at
least be based on an established history of apparently safe use. The establishment of minimum and maximum
values also should take into account, where possible, other factors such as bioavailability and losses during
processing and shelf life. Minimum and maximum values refer to total nutrient contents of infant formulae as prepared
ready for consumption according to the instructions of the manufacturer.
