American Children Are Not Consuming Enough Milk

American Children Are Not Consuming Enough Milk Stories

A recent study from Penn State has found that American children are drinking insufficient amounts of milk and the dairy they are choosing to consume are very high in fat. The study examined a children's daily dairy intake and compared it with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPyramid dairy recommendations. The findings revealed that only 2 to 3 year olds met the MyPyramid dairy recommendations. It was also observed that most children choose to eat more of the highest fat varieties of cheese, yogurt, ice cream, and dairy based toppings.

How low should cholesterol go? And is it safe to reduce cholesterol levels to as low as doctors can take it?
New research just released provides the answer.
The guidelines for cholesterol goals have shifted over the years, gradually decreasing. An LDL, or bad cholesterol number of 130 was the cholesterol goal a decade or so ago. That then fell to 100. And now it’s fallen even further to about 70? Is it worth the effort?
