Some have said that milk is even bad for me. Please let me know. Milk is an excellent source of calcium, potassium, phosphorus and protein. It is usually fortified with vitamin D, a vitamin that assists calcium to enter the bone. If you choose skim milk, there are about 90 calories in 1 cup and no fat.
Milk is part of a well-balanced diet.
The food pyramid suggests a minimum of 2 cups a day. This is certainly a beneficial food habit. You can read more about a balanced diet at the American Dietetic Association . You can also visit the National Dairy Council for more information on milk. This information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice.
