Nutritional Contributions of Dairy Foods: Accentuating the Positive and Managing Perceived Negatives

Abstract

Consumer perception of diary foods is being influenced by the increasing interest in diet and disease. The dairy industry can expand efforts to promote dairy foods for their proven health benefits, while addressing consumer concerns about fat, cholesterol, and calories. Investment in nutrition research and education programs helps the dairy industry better understand health benefits of dairy foods and manage perceived negatives. © 1991, American Dairy Science Association.
