Why can't babies eat salt?

As Taiwan's case of infant death caused by salt infusion of milk has come to an end, the topic of whether infants can eat salt has also received widespread attention. What harm does infants have when they eat salt?

First of all, infants eat salt to reduce the oral saliva secretion of infants, lysozyme also reduced accordingly, stimulated a variety of bacteria, viruses in the upper respiratory tract. And after the baby eats salt, due to the penetration of salt, it can kill the normal parasitic flora of the upper respiratory tract, causing dysbacteriosis and causing the baby to become ill.

Infants are less resistant, and eating salt inhibits the proliferation of oral mucosal epithelial cells, which can lead to loss of infant resistance. At the same time, salt can also affect the absorption of zinc in children and cause zinc deficiency in children.

Salt can also increase the burden on the baby's kidneys, because the baby's kidneys are immature and unable to exclude excess sodium from the blood, and are therefore vulnerable to excessive salt damage. This damage is difficult to recover, and the result is a child. Hypertension may occur in the future. Excessive intake of salt can also lead to a large amount of potassium excreted in the body, and potassium is necessary for muscle contraction and relaxation during human activities. Excessive potassium loss can cause heart muscle weakness and serious consequences.
