Flavored Milk

With calcium and eight other essential nutrients, flavored milk offers the same great nutrient-rich package as plain milk and can help improve overall diets. While there are some added sugars, flavored milk drinkers do not have higher intakes of added sugars or total fat than children who do not consume flavored milk. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recognize that small amounts of sugar added to nutrient dense foods, such as low-fat milk products, may increase a person's intake of such foods by enhancing palatability of these products.
