Why is the bovine colostrum, known as the "King of Immunity", banned for infants and toddlers? What is the market reaction after the ban is issued?　　Yesterday, this reporter with these questions consulted the pediatric experts and conducted a market survey.　　"A ban on a piece of paper" September infant formula food must not add colostrum this year April 18, the Ministry of Health issued the "on the application of bovine colostrum products" reply, in response to the AQSIQ asked about imported bovine Colostrum products applicable standards. The Ministry of Health requires that dairy products with colostrum as raw materials should be implemented in accordance with the relevant food standards.

In Hangzhou, a Mr. Chen had listened to a friend's recommendation when he was 3 years old and bought a New Zealand colostrum from the Internet.

Mr. Chen said that after eating to find his son's legs and upper lip hair become black, the whole family worried, began to suspect colostrum problems, immediately to the child to stop.　　Sure enough, soon after the withdrawal of bovine colostrum, the child's problems soon vanished.　　There are reports that this June, Shenzhen, a 5-year-old girl with Menarche, was diagnosed as precocious puberty, the suspect is a young man has been drinking bovine colostrum. Dr Wang said: "This increase in exogenous hormones to stimulate the more obvious principle of secondary sexual characteristics, as with the pill, once stopped, hormone levels will return to balance."　　"and the Ministry of Health a paper ban also let those early parents of young people unprepared." One woman said her child had been 11 months before and had been eating powdered milk that had been added to the colostrum, feeling pretty good.　　One months ago, the father of the child on the Internet to see the baby formula can not add colostrum in the news, they hastened to change the milk powder for the child.　　Hangzhou City Hospital in the municipal Chinese Medicine of the city of Gold as a veteran of the small pediatric experts, also feel that there is no need to give children to supplement colostrum.
