FLAVORED MILK

Flavored Milk Has a Healthy Benefit for Children
(01/2004)

A study by Dr. Rachel Johnson, published in the January 2004 Journal of Adolescent Health, touts the benefits of flavored milk consumption among children - those who consume sweetened dairy products like chocolate milk, get more calcium and consume less saturated fat than kids who drink other sugar-sweetened beverages, such as soda.

Studies suggest the nutrients in 3 glasses of lowfat or fat free milk a day can help maintain a healthy weight, plus the protein, along with exercise, helps build muscle for a lean body. So eat right, move more and milk your diet.
