How does your drink choice measure up? If you choose milk several times a
day, you’re feeding your body calcium and eight other essential nutrients.
Milk and milk-containing foods are good for our bones and teeth, and may also reduce
our risk of some cancers, high blood pressure and obesity.
Sadly, many of us Americans fall far short of the recommended intake: more
than half of our children do not get enough calcium. Nine out of 10
women and seven out of 10 men fail to meet calcium requirements.

June Dairy Month is a good time to savor foods made with milk. Try

Watch for specials in your grocery store. Go to some special events (like
Breakfast on the Farm). And remember to include milk as your thirst quencher
year round!
