Dairy

• A news story went viral after a family said they bought 12 gallons of milk each week. • Current USDA Dietary Guidelines recommend adults consume three cups of low-fat or fat-free dairy per day, but that's too much dairy for most people. • Milk offers certain essential nutrients, but the same nutrients can be found in fruits and vegetables. CNN's segment on how inflation is affecting American families went viral after the Stotlers, a family of 11, revealed how much milk they buy every week—12 gallons. Petitpain noted that regular fruits and vegetables contain plenty of potassium. Calcium can also be found in collards, kale, turnips, mustard greens, bok choy, chia seeds, tahini, almond butter, and edamame. Humans can generate vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and some non-dairy milk products are fortified with this vitamin. USDA Dietary Guidelines suggest consuming 3 cups of dairy every day. However, the guidelines may be skewed by lobbying efforts and dietitians have been petitioning to change the recommendations. But Is Milk Really Healthy? While milk does provide essential nutrients and it's rich in protein, the downsides to consuming dairy may outweigh its benefits for some people. "Full-fat dairy foods are a significant source of saturated fat in the American diet," Petitpain said. "This is concerning because saturated fat intake is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Cheese, in particular, is also high in sodium, another nutrient we over-c...

Advantages to going dairy-free: • Generally safe and can be followed as long as nutritional needs are met • Helps ease discomfort of lactose intolerance or dairy allergy • May potentially help contribute to weight loss Drawbacks to going dairy-free: • Not getting enough nutrients • Alternate foods may be costly or inaccessible • Strictly avoiding dairy can be difficult, and requires planning to meet nutritional needs Foods to Eat vs. Foods to Avoid Figuring out what you should and should not eat on a dairy-free diet is a first step to getting started. • Products labeled "dairy-free": The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn't regulate this term, so these products could still contain casein milk derivatives like casein (a milk protein) or whey. • Products labeled "nondairy": FDA regulations technically allow these products to contain a very small percentage of milk by weight in the form of casein. Note that these labeling requirements do not apply to restaurant foods. If in doubt, be sure to ask your server if a particular dish is dairy-free. Dairy-Free Nutrition While the Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends low-fat dairy products as part of a balanced diet, it acknowledges that there are other ways to meet your nutritional needs if you can't or prefer not to consume dairy. • Milk substitutes: Alternatives like soy, almond, coconut, and oat milk can replace cow's milk. Just be aware that their nutritional content can vary greatly. • Protein: While dairy is a goo...

This article was originally published by . For Taylor Arnold, a registered dietitian nutritionist, feeding her second baby was not easy. At eight weeks old, he screamed when he ate and wouldn’t gain much weight. Arnold brought him to a gastroenterologist, who diagnosed him with allergic proctocolitis—an immune response to the proteins found in certain foods, which she narrowed down to cow’s milk. Cow’s-milk-protein allergies, or CMPA, might be But although some evidence suggests that CMPA rates are climbing, the source and extent of that increase remain unclear. Some experts say that the uptick is partly because doctors are getting better at recognizing symptoms. Others claim that the condition is overdiagnosed. And among those who believe that milk-allergy rates are inflated, some suspect that the global formula industry, valued at $55 billion according to a 2022 Meanwhile, “no one has ever studied these kids in a systematic way,” Victoria Martin, a pediatric gastroenterologist and allergy researcher at Massachusetts General Hospital, told me. “It’s pretty unusual in disease that is this common, that has been going on for this long, that there hasn’t been more careful, controlled study.” This lack of clarity can leave doctors in the dark about how to diagnose the condition and leave parents with more questions than answers about how best to treat it. When Arnold’s son became sick with CMPA symptoms, it was “really, really stressful,” she told me. Plus, “I didn’t get a lot...

(4 pages) COVID-19 has had an impact on nearly every aspect of day-to-day life, and the dairy industry is no exception. Where and how consumers shop, eat, work, and live has shifted amid an acceleration of technology adoption among companies and consumers. For example, a 2020 McKinsey survey found that, compared with prepandemic levels, there was a 163 percent increase in US dairy consumers who report shopping for dairy “mostly online.” The past year has challenged the dairy industry in several ways, including the rapid switch in demand from food service to retail. But the industry has proven its resilience and ability to meet consumer needs. Nonetheless, to succeed in the next three to five years, dairy executives must revisit their approaches to critical, evolving trends in consumer behavior, digital and analytics, and supply-chain management. In this article, we will look more closely at these trends as well as what steps companies can take to prepare for the next three to five years at the industry and enterprise levels. We base our insights and recommendations on an October 2020 proprietary survey of US dairy consumers, market observations, and findings from a 2020 McKinsey dairy executive survey of more than 50 industry leaders, augmented by in-depth interviews. The current state of dairy As dairy leaders plan their strategic approach over the near term, they should keep in mind three critical market-shaping trends. Changing consumer behavior and a need for better co...

When I was a growing teenager, I drank as much milk as possible (often straight from the carton while standing in front of the open fridge, much to my mother's chagrin). I'd seen the TV ads — milk and other dairy foods were the express ticket to stronger bones and bigger muscles. But today dairy's nutritional reputation is as clear as, well, a glass of milk. Dairy is either good or bad for you depending on the latest diet trend or recent study. So what is the truth — is dairy healthy, or a health risk? "Dairy isn't necessary in the diet for optimal health, but for many people, it is the easiest way to get the calcium, vitamin D, and protein they need to keep their heart, muscles, and bones healthy and functioning properly," says Vasanti Malik, nutrition research scientist with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Dairy products as a source of calcium and protein Dairy products like milk, yogurt, cheese, and cottage cheese, are good sources of calcium, which helps maintain bone density and reduces the risk of fractures. Adults up to age 50 need 1,000 milligrams (mg) of calcium per day. Women older than 50 and men older than 70 need 1,200 mg. (For comparison, a cup of milk has 250 mg to 350 mg of calcium, depending on the brand and whether it's whole, low-fat, or nonfat. A typical serving of yogurt has about 187 mg of calcium.) Milk is also fortified with vitamin D, which bones need to maintain bone mass. Older adults also need protein to protect against sarcopenia...
