Why is MILK so important?

• Calcium-rich: A mineral stored in bones and teeth to support structure.

• Fortified: Vitamins A and D are added to milk.– Vitamin D helps with the absorption

of calcium, which you need for strong bones.

– Vitamin A is important for healthy eyes and boosts your immune system.

• Prevents Osteoporosis: a disease in which bones weaken and become porous instead of solid and strong.

DAIRY

• Lactose: a special sugar found naturally in milk. – Lactose intolerant:

someone who can’t digest this sugar. Alternatives & digestive aids are available.

• Curdle: small curds form if milk gets too hot. The solids separate from the liquid, called whey.

How MILK is processed

• Raw milk: not heated, includes bacteria • Pasteurized: heated to kill bacteria• Homogenized: mechanical treatment

to keep the cream from separating out of milk.

• Fermented or cultured: bacteria are added to change the sugar and acid to make cheese, yogurt and buttermilk.
