I am currently 29 years old and enjoy drinking a glass of milk every morning. I have heard that milk is really doing nothing for me except acting as a source of fat. 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.
