food nutrition : Milk Matters for Your Child's Health!

Your child’s bones are growing every day, and growing bones need lots of calcium. Milk is an excellent source of calcium. We hope that this book will help you learn more about milk and calcium so you can help your children grow into strong, healthy adults.

That’s because milk and dairy foods have lots of calcium and other nutrients that make bones grow strong and healthy. Children and teenagers especially need the calcium and other bone-building materials in milk because their bones are growing more than at any other time in their lives.

Studies show that most kids don’t get the calcium they need. In fact, more than half of teenage boys and girls don’t get the recommended amount of calcium.
