On Nov. 17th there was an article published in New York Times which inaccurately discredits the need for three servings of dairy a day. There have been many recent studies that disagree with this article.<\/p>\n
1.National Dairy Council\u2019s Health & Wellness partner, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), released an updated clinical report, \u201cOptimizing Bone Health in Children and Adolescents\u201d in Pediatrics. The report emphasizes the importance of three or more servings of dairy foods and dairy\u2019s nutrients (i.e., calcium and vitamin D) for children\u2019s bone health. The report also points out that milk alternatives, such as soy-or almond-based beverages, may have a reduced amount of bioavailable calcium per glass.<\/p>\n
2.Another study, \u201cConsumption of Non-cow\u2019s Milk Beverages and Serum D Levels in Early Childhood,\u201d published in the current issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, assessed the vitamin D levels and eating habits of 2,821 healthy children ages one to six and found children who drank only non-cow’s milk were more than twice as likely as children who drank only cow\u2019s milk to have lower vitamin D levels.<\/p>\n
The studies continue to point out the necessity of dairy in everyone’s daily diet. So have a large glass of skim milk with your turkey this Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
