Enter in lure oil needed when the baby is 5-6 months old. First - vegetable, and a little later - creamy. The first dose should be scanty and fit on the tip of a knife, that is, it should be about 1 gram (this is a couple of drops). Moreover, vegetable oil is added to and complementary foods (better - olive, the first cold pressing), and in - butter. It is important that in the second case it is about products made from cream (fat content - at least 82.5%). Less fatty foods have a different name - spread - and various nutritional supplements replace the natural basis in them. It is also important to remember that an oil additive will be superfluous in a jar of complementary foods: it already contains it in the form of the required amount of animal and vegetable fats.

Why do children need oil?

If your little one ate canned (purchased) food - vegetable oil he already knows well. They add it to the store so that it is better absorbed. Therefore, if you cook a vegetable dish yourself, you can safely drop a drop of olive oil into it. And the cream product goes well with cereal starchy porridge. But you need to add it directly to the plate, because during the boiling process, vitamins are destroyed, and harmful saturated fatty acids are formed from useful unsaturated fatty acids.

By the year, the daily "oil" norm for the little one will be 3-5 grams. But margarine and other “lightness” (spreads) are contraindicated for babies.

Choosing the first vegetable oil for children, it is best to stay on the olive. It has almost the same amount of fatty acids as breast milk. Over time, it can begin to alternate with sunflower and corn. And closer to two years, also give rapeseed and soy. They are part of the store canned puree. But when buying such food, you should always check the composition for the presence of GMOs.

Olive and more oil for children plays another important role - provides the body with cholesterol. In small quantities, it is simply necessary, since it is involved in the synthesis of steroid hormones and the production of vitamin D, and is also part of the cell membrane, and is necessary for a number of digestive processes. That is, without cholesterol, the development of a baby, including intellectual development, can be disturbed. But, we repeat, one should strictly adhere to the established norms, since the “oil blow” to the liver and pancreas can be very noticeable. It is also necessary to carefully add it to infants with intolerance to cow protein.

Vegetable oil for children

This product contains vitamin E, as well as unsaturated fatty acids that the human body cannot produce on its own. Meanwhile, such compounds are needed for the retina and the functioning of the nervous system. Therefore, the grown-up peanut should be taught as early as possible to salads from fresh vegetables seasoned with olive (sunflower, corn, soy) oil. It can also be added to vegetable purees. It is also great for cooking fried foods, since it is not afraid of heat treatment and no carcinogens harmful to the body are released. But, of course, fried will appear on the menu of your child not earlier than he turns one year old.

Adding butter to food

It is necessary to introduce butter made from cream into complementary foods in a timely manner and without fail. Moreover, when the time comes, it should be present in the menu of your child every day (of course, in small doses), providing the body with vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, calcium, phospholipids, amino acids. If vegetable oil for children is offered at 5-6 months, then a cream product is offered at 6-7. Six-month-olds who eat mixtures - early, and those who are breastfed - later. If your child has allergies, be sure to check with your pediatrician before injecting butter food.

, we repeat, it is very useful to give it to a baby. After all, it is a source of energy, an indispensable element that ensures the proper functioning of the nervous system, has a beneficial effect on the skin, hormonal system, vision, hair, muscle and bone tissue. The unique property of "creamy" is its ability to heal wounds and sores in the stomach and duodenum. It also normalizes digestion. Contributes to the treatment of complex diseases of the bronchi, skin ailments, colds, tuberculosis. Protects the young body from infections.

Butter for children is beginning to be introduced along with cereals, that is, cereals. First - 2-4 grams per day. By the year, the norm is 5-6 grams. By the age of three, the karpuz should consume about 15 grams, and after 4 years - 25.

Finally, we repeat once again: choosing, what kind of oil to give the child, in no case should you buy a spread. Indeed, this product contains elements harmful to the baby - flavoring additives, emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavors ... And it is not difficult to distinguish a natural product from a substitute: at the legislative level it is forbidden to hide that a spread is a spread

Benefit

Why butter is useful for the growing body of a small person who is not yet a year old.

• Energy source.

The baby, of course, sleeps a lot. But already from 4-5 months, the amount of sleep is reduced and he begins to be more and more awake. And while awake, the baby never lies quietly. Literally everything moves with him - his arms, legs are constantly in motion, his head is spinning - everything is interesting to him, he learns the world. Such a vigorous activity, of course, requires a lot of energy. After all, an unformed organism does not yet have the reserves that adults have; therefore, it receives energy with each new meal. And butter is rich in healthy fats, which are transformed in the body into carbohydrates - our main sources of energy.

• Some vitamins necessary for the body are dissolved and absorbed only in a fatty environment.
• Dairy fats, which are rich in butter, are absorbed almost completely by the body.
• Lots of vitamins. Including A, D, E, B2. These elements are responsible for vision, help the growth of the baby's hair, make the skin healthy, strengthen the bones. And vitamin E is responsible for the proper development of the reproductive organs of the child.
• For problems with the digestive system, butter is necessary.
• Diseases of the respiratory system is also an indicator for the use of this product. It can be diseases of the bronchi, lungs. Even with tuberculosis, if the baby suffers from it from birth, butter will help alleviate the situation.


• Helps the body fight skin diseases. Cleanses the skin.
• Milk fat is an indispensable element for proper metabolism.
• Butter helps a child recover faster after an illness by raising and strengthening immune forces.
• It contains such irreplaceable and extremely beneficial minerals for the body as selenium, chromium, zinc, manganese and many others.
• If you managed to get real butter from cows that grazed in the pasture, then you have a unique medicine and preventive measure against cancer in your hands. After all, this oil contains a high content of natural linoleic acid.
• The product consumed in reasonable quantities is not deposited in fat reserves, but is completely converted into energy.
• The product protects against the development of asthma. It is important that butter is ingested in small quantities, otherwise the benefit may turn into harm. In excess, it harms the heart, clogs blood vessels and negatively affects metabolism, contributing to obesity.

When and how much to give

When to start giving this useful product to children under one year old?

From the age of four months, you may well begin to add a little product to the cereals that you feed your baby. If you use ready-made cereals from mixtures, then you do not need to add additional oil to their composition - it is already included in the composition of the finished product.

You need to start introducing little by little - this is the main condition. And after you have begun to give, carefully monitor the reaction of the child. If negative reactions occur, temporarily stop giving the oil and consult a doctor. But if the child is healthy, then usually there are no problems.

For the first time, oil for children who are not yet a year old should be given no more than one gram. And within two months - from the fourth to the sixth - this portion can grow up to four grams with a normal reaction of the child. By the age of one year, a child can easily master the daily norm of 12 grams.

Of course, you should not give children up to a year at once the entire daily allowance. These 4-12 grams should be divided into several doses - at least two.

How much to give

• At 6 months - from one to four grams.
• 7 months - 4 grams.
• 8 months -5 grams.
• From 9 to 12 months - 6-12 grams.

How to give - useful tips

Since butter is a rather heavy and fatty product, it is necessary to introduce it into the diet of a baby who is not yet a year old with great care. Some doctors advise to feed the baby exclusively with breast milk for up to 6 months, and then start introducing other products. But not all children have the opportunity to consume breast milk until six months. For many mothers, it even happens that milk is completely absent or ends very early. In this case, you can start giving butter from 4 months of age.

• Added to porridge, butter simultaneously increases the digestibility of starch compounds in cereals and improves the taste of porridge.
• Only high-quality, real butter should be given to the baby. With 82.5% fat. The child should not try any spreads, easy substitutes and other food garbage. Even for adults, the listed products are dangerous, let alone babies. The appearance of such products in the diet of a baby can cause dangerous allergies and poisoning.
• Add fresh oil to ready-made porridge, and do not cook with it.
• If there are problems with the digestive system: stool disorders, colic, then the product should be introduced into complementary foods with particular care.
• In order for vitamin A to be fully preserved, it is necessary to store the product under a closed lid in the refrigerator.

How to choose

In our time, many have thoroughly forgotten the real taste of natural butter. What points will tell us that we have a real product without additives:

• Real butter tastes like cream. Without any impurities.
• It does not make you sick, it does not cause rejection, even if you eat it with a large spoon.
• It practically does not freeze. Even taking a real product out of the freezer, you can spread it on a bun - it will not resemble a brick in its consistency of small sizes.
• Does not crumble when cut.
• The color is pleasant yellowish, the smell is characteristic.

Melted butter

Which oil is as healthy as butter, but has a higher digestibility? Of course, hot. This type of product has as many health benefits as regular fresh butter. But baked milk is easier to digest and therefore suitable for those children under one year old who have lactose and milk protein intolerance. Its benefits:

• It has a wonderful effect on the digestive system, relieving the child's body of colic and constipation.
• Helps the development of intellectual abilities, saturating the brain with useful cholesterol.
• Helps develop and strengthen the reproductive system.

Requirements:

• The consistency of the product should be soft, without hard lumps.
• Color amber, more/less dark/light.
• The aroma is pleasant, creamy.
• If it is heated, the natural product does not give foam and sediment.

Keep in mind that ghee is an extremely fatty product, so you can give it to a child who is not yet a year old only in the morning.

In butter, after it has been melted, new elements appear, including high-saturated fatty acids, which were not in the original product. These acids are able to remove harmful cholesterol from the body, strengthen blood vessels.

You can give it to a child who is not yet a year old - from 4 to 6 grams per day.

When the time comes for complementary foods, the kids begin to give vegetable purees, and then cereals. Yes, not empty, but with butter! First, vegetable oil is introduced into complementary foods, after a couple of weeks - butter. At first, both of them are added quite a bit. But these precious grams are extremely important for the health, growth and development of the crumbs!

We are traditionally accustomed to sunflower oil, but now we constantly hear that olive oil is healthier. But there is also corn, soy, rapeseed, flax ... How much should all this diversity be represented in the baby's diet? Let's find out!

Baby oil: benefits and pleasure

A child needs fats, firstly, in order to build their cells and grow, and secondly, to get energy. When burning 1 g of fat, 9 kcal is released, and proteins and carbohydrates are 2 times less. Significant difference! Yes, and you must admit, what a pleasure it is to eat “empty” porridge or mashed potatoes? With oil, any food is much tastier, more satisfying, and most importantly, healthier.

No wonder they say: "It goes like clockwork"! This product facilitates the introduction of complementary foods, helping the baby's digestive system to quickly adapt to a new type of food and unfamiliar dishes. And when the time comes to wean the baby from the breast, it will help to painlessly switch to regular food.

First of all, this applies to olive oil, which is closest to breast milk in terms of fatty acid composition (for example, linoleic is approximately 8% in both products).

Scientists have proven the key role of this and other fatty acids in the formation and development of the infant's brain, as well as their importance as precursors of a series of biologically active hormone-like substances - eicosanoids. With their imbalance in the body, vascular tone and blood clotting are disturbed, immunity weakens, the child begins to lag behind in growth. This must not be allowed!

Oil in complementary foods: a reasonable balance

Fifty-fifty - this should be approximately the ratio of vegetable and butter in complementary foods. Mothers usually do not doubt the benefits of the first, but objections are sometimes raised about the second: “Is butter really necessary for a baby? It's all cholesterol!

In fact, there is nothing wrong with cholesterol if its content in the products of the daily diet does not exceed the body's physiological need for this substance. Based on cholesterol, many hormones and vitamins are synthesized, including vitamin D, which strengthens the baby's teeth and bones, protecting him from rickets.

But it's not only that. Without giving your baby butter and using only vegetable oil in children's dishes, you will achieve only one thing - indigestion. Too much vegetable oil for a child, no matter how useful it may be in itself, causes diarrhea in babies. Therefore, it should be about half of the total amount of fat that a child receives up to a year, and then even less - only 10%. The rest of the fats are supposed to be of animal origin: their main sources at an early age are butter and egg yolk.

Baby oil: vitamin with the letter "F"

Fatty acids are considered a universal building material. Moreover, it is easier for the body to use ready-made molecules for its needs, split off from edible oils and fats, than to synthesize them from scratch. The body is so accustomed to receiving fatty acids from the outside that some of them (linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic) have forgotten how to produce. Therefore, they are called indispensable and are equated in value with vitamins, uniting under the general name "vitamin F" (from the English fat - "fat").

The largest amount of this factor, which is so necessary for the baby's body, is found in olive, corn and sunflower oil, therefore it is their pediatricians who recommend using them in the nutrition of children in the first year of life.

Controversy over the benefits of different oils in complementary foods

Vegetable oil for a child, especially fresh, is useful regardless of where the original product is made and whether it is sunflower, corn or olive (the child needs to be given one today, a second tomorrow, the day after tomorrow a third, because each has its own advantages).

It cannot be said that sunflower, for example, is worse than olive. The further north the crop is grown, the more polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) super-useful for babies in the oil. Sunflower oil is the absolute champion in this indicator - it is at least 4 times ahead of olive oil.

True, sunflower oil is inferior to olive oil in terms of a balanced composition, that is, in terms of the ratio of the two main classes of PUFAs.

The fact is that normally a child should receive 5-6 times more linoleic acid than linolenic acid. The first is referred to as omega-6, and the second belongs to omega-3 acids. In such an ideal ratio, these acids are found in olive oil, which is traditionally received by babies born in the south of Europe.

And for a long time, a combination of different oils has helped children in Russia to maintain the balance of PUFAs. Sunflower is rich in omega-6 acids, but corn, linseed and rapeseed are rich in omega-3s. But due to the fact that we now practically do not use the last three types of vegetable oil, the ratio of linoleic and linolenic acids in the diet of Russians has shifted from the optimal 5–6 to 20–25.

To bring these numbers back to normal, one could limit one olive oil for a child, but the problem is that the total amount of PUFAs in it is less than in all others. And they are extremely necessary for a child, and this despite the fact that his body cannot yet absorb a lot of oil.

This means that the baby needs to be given those types of oil in which the concentration of PUFAs is the highest, and these are sunflower and corn. It's good to add linen to them.

But what about olive oil? Of course, it can also and should be used from time to time in the baby's menu.

Secrets of choosing butter for babies

Remember that natural vegetable oil is a very capricious product!

The fact is that the unsaturated fatty acids that are in it are very easily oxidized, because they have unused (double) chemical bonds in their composition and, at every opportunity, they try to attract an oxygen atom to themselves. As a result, the product loses its beneficial properties, and its taste also deteriorates.

That is why vegetable oil for children's meals should always be fresh (of the last harvest) and preferably unrefined, and this is especially true for sunflower oil: it is richer in valuable substances that are removed during the refining process.

Always look for extra virgin on a container of olive oil. This means that it is the very first and at the same time cold pressed. This oil is obtained by a single cold pressing of olives, as a result of which their liquid oil part is separated from the solid one.

Keep a bottle of vegetable oil in a dark place at a temperature of + 10 ... -15 ° C, since the quality of this product deteriorates significantly when stored in the light and in heat.

We measure correctly

It is most convenient to do this with the help of spoons - you can use special measuring or ordinary cutlery. So, 2 ml of oil is placed in a coffee spoon, 5 ml in a teaspoon, 10 ml in a dessert spoon, and 15 ml in a tablespoon.

There is no problem with vegetable oil, since it is liquid. As for butter, then don’t be embarrassed that its dosage is usually indicated in grams: you can easily measure the same amount in milliliters by melting it right in a spoon.

Add vegetable oil to vegetable puree 1 ml each, while the portion is small (up to 50 g), and 3 ml can be put in a 100-gram puree - this is the daily norm for 5-7 months. At 8-9 months, the baby needs 5 ml, at 10-12 months - 6 ml of vegetable oil per day. Put butter in porridge at 6 months, increasing the dose from 1 to 4 g by 7-8 months. At 9 months, the baby needs 5 g, at 10-12 months - 6 g per day.

Oil is an extremely useful and, I repeat, vital product. It should be immediately present in the diet of a baby who has just begun to introduce complementary foods. If you started complementary foods with canned food, it most often already contains vegetable oil. Or add a couple of drops of oil yourself. Vegetable oil is added to vegetables, it helps their absorption, and butter is combined with starchy dishes - cereals. By the year a child should receive up to 3-5 g of oil per day, by three years - 5-8 g per day, from three years and older up to 10-18 g per day. The best vegetable oil is considered olive (cold-pressed), as well as native sunflower, soybean and corn oil, they can be alternated. The combination of fatty acids in olive oil is close to the same combination in breast milk. Until the child is two years old, it is worth adding to his food those oils that are rich in omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Therefore, canned food most often contains soy and rapeseed oils, and not olive and corn. There are many complaints about the quality of soybean and corn oil, based on the frequent use of genetically modified raw materials. Some well-known manufacturers (such as Semper) have abandoned the use of corn oil for these reasons. Therefore, you should study the packaging: is there an indication “does not contain GMI” on it.

Butter is added directly to the plate, because. When boiled, vitamins are destroyed, and unsaturated fatty acids turn into harmful saturated ones.

Margarine and butter spreads (the so-called "light" oils) are not given to children. The amount of butter needed by a 1-3 year old child is 15 g per day.

But what about cholesterol? According to experts from the Research Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, cholesterol, on the contrary, is necessary for the child. Another thing is that in the recommended quantities, according to the age of the baby. Cholesterol is involved in the synthesis of steroid hormones, including sex hormones, enters the cell membrane, and its deficiency can lead to violations of its functions, which in turn will affect the development of the baby. With the introduction of butter into the diet of children suffering from intolerance to cow's milk proteins, you need to be very careful. And, finally, no matter how wonderful properties butter has, you should not overdo it, it thoroughly loads the pancreas and liver.

Linen. considered the most valuable. Rich in vitamin F. It nourishes the brain, improves cellular metabolism, has a beneficial effect on the nervous system. It is called the oil of youth, therefore it is often recommended for older people. Easily oxidized, therefore it is necessary to protect it from exposure to light and air. In terms of unsaturated fatty acids content, linseed oil surpasses all conventional products: only 1-2 tablespoons of linseed oil provide their daily requirement. In infants, flaxseed oil contributes to the normal formation of brain tissue, in adults it helps to maintain the correct metabolism, giving additional strength. In old age, fatty acids regulate the level of cholesterol in the blood. Flaxseed oil helps to normalize fat metabolism and seemingly unattainable weight loss with a complete rejection of the use of fats, with the consumption of flaxseed oil becomes a reality. The use of flaxseed oil is very important for vegetarians and people whose diet does not include fish, the fat of which contains unsaturated fatty acids. Flaxseed oil is superior to fish oil in terms of unsaturated fatty acids. It is especially useful to use it for dressing fresh salads and vinaigrettes, mix with cottage cheese and herbs.

Sunflower. Our own. The biological value of unrefined oil is very high: it contains a lot of polyunsaturated fatty acids, phosphorus, iodine and other minerals that are destroyed when the temperature rises, so it should be stored at low temperatures (not higher than 18 degrees). The recognition of sunflower oil by the Russian Orthodox Church as a Lenten product contributed to the widespread distribution of sunflower oil. Sunflower oil came in so handy in an Orthodox country that by the middle of the century in some areas in the south up to half of the areas were sown with sunflower, and vegetable oil was just sunflower (and linseed) for a long time, which was fixed in the language.

Olive. It has an ideal formula for vegetable oil: a maximum of healthy fats and a minimum of harmful ones, and 75% of monounsaturated fats is the most valuable of them - oleic acid (3.5 times more than in any other oil). Olive oil is almost 100% absorbed by the body. To get 5 grams of essential fatty acids, a person should eat almost 0.5 kg of butter, and only 31 grams of olive oil! It is extremely useful for the heart and blood vessels, protects them from atherosclerosis and lack of oxygen. In addition, olive oil has a healing effect, a calming effect on the functioning of the intestines, stomach, and pancreas. It has been experimentally established that in the process of frying, much more toxins were formed in sunflower oil than in olive oil. It is believed that in pure olive oil, even with repeated heat treatment, no carcinogens are formed. Quality olive oil is sold only in dark glassware and cannot be cheap. ( Olio extra virgin di olive- natural extra virgin olive oil. Acidity no more than 1%. This is a virgin oil without heating)
Corn. It goes on sale only in a refined form. It has no special advantages over sunflower oil, however, this oil contains a large amount of useful accompanying substances, which makes it very popular. In corn oil, such an essential fatty acid as linoleic is concentrated - up to 56%. In addition to polyunsaturated fatty acids, corn oil contains a significant amount of tocopherols (vitamin E). It protects cells from the "attack" of free radicals, improves brain and muscle function and is considered a dietary oil.

Many parents are wary of butter because of the high content of animal fats in it, but for children this product is not only useful, but also largely indispensable. Let's talk about butter for a small child.

The baby is introduced to butter in the interval from 4 to 6 months, when complementary foods are introduced. Usually this product is put in cereals, but it can also be seasoned with vegetable dishes. If you buy canned food for your baby, the oil supplement will be superfluous: the required amount of dietary fat is already there. The nutritional value of butter is determined by milk fats, which are needed by the body of a small child as a source of energy and fat-soluble vitamins.

They are easily broken down and absorbed by 98%. In addition, they contain not only saturated, that is, "harmful" components, but also useful ones - monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Milk fats also contain vitamins A, E, D, B2. Vitamin A is included in the visual pigment rhodopsin and provides color perception, B2 is needed for hair growth, healthy skin and nails, E affects the reproductive organs, and D helps strengthen bone tissue. At the same time, butter contains quite a lot of cholesterol and calories, so you should not get carried away with this product. An excess of both in the body can lead to a violation of fat metabolism. consumption norms.

Like any complementary foods, butter is introduced into the baby's diet gradually. You should start with unsalted or sweet cream. They do not contain lactic acid bacteria that can upset the balance of the intestinal flora of a small child. The first serving is 1 g per day. By 6 months, it can be increased to 4 g (for comparison: 5 g of melted butter fits in a teaspoon), and by the year - up to 6 g per day. From 1 to 3 years old, the baby can consume 15-20 g of this product daily. It is better to distribute the volume over 3 meals: in the morning put butter in porridge or spread on bread, in the afternoon - put it in a side dish, and in the evening cook on it any dish that you want to offer crumbs for dinner.

Very useful and melted butter. Since it contains almost no cow's milk proteins and lactose, this product can be given to children with lactase deficiency and intolerance to cow's milk proteins. Ghee helps digestion, has a beneficial effect on the reproductive system and intelligence. In addition, it improves memory, increases mental abilities and keeps the central nervous system in good shape. When buying it in a store, pay attention to the smell, color and consistency of the product for a small child. Quality oil has a caramel flavor and amber color, it must be soft. The taste of the oil is sweetish, with a slight nutty tint. If it is melted, it will become transparent and will not give any sediment. When heated, the product should not foam. Due to the high fat content, it is better to eat it in the morning, spread on cookies or bread.

Benefit

Why butter is useful for the growing body of a small person who is not yet a year old.

• Energy source.

The baby, of course, sleeps a lot. But already from 4-5 months, the amount of sleep is reduced and he begins to be more and more awake. And while awake, the baby never lies quietly. Literally everything moves with him - his arms, legs are constantly in motion, his head is spinning - everything is interesting to him, he learns the world. Such a vigorous activity, of course, requires a lot of energy. After all, an unformed organism does not yet have the reserves that adults have; therefore, it receives energy with each new meal. And butter is rich in healthy fats, which are transformed in the body into carbohydrates - our main sources of energy.

When and how much to give

When to start giving this useful product to children under one year old?

From the age of four months, you may well begin to add a little product to the cereals that you feed your baby. If you use ready-made cereals from mixtures, then you do not need to add additional oil to their composition - it is already included in the composition of the finished product.

You need to start introducing little by little - this is the main condition. And after you have begun to give, carefully monitor the reaction of the child. If negative reactions occur, temporarily stop giving the oil and consult a doctor. But if the child is healthy, then usually there are no problems.

For the first time, oil for children who are not yet a year old should be given no more than one gram. And within two months - from the fourth to the sixth - this portion can grow up to four grams with a normal reaction of the child. By the age of one year, a child can easily master the daily norm of 12 grams.

Of course, you should not give children up to a year at once the entire daily allowance. These 4-12 grams should be divided into several doses - at least two.

How much to give

• At 6 months - from one to four grams.
• 7 months - 4 grams.
• 8 months -5 grams.
• From 9 to 12 months - 6-12 grams.

Some doctors advise to feed the baby exclusively with breast milk for up to 6 months, and then start introducing other products. But not all children have the opportunity to consume breast milk until six months. For many mothers, it even happens that milk is completely absent or ends very early. In this case, you can start giving butter from 4 months of age.

• Added to porridge, butter simultaneously increases the digestibility of starch compounds in cereals and improves the taste of porridge.
• Only high-quality, real butter should be given to the baby. With 82.5% fat. The child should not try any spreads, easy substitutes and other food garbage.
