During childhood and adolescence,
bones need high quality protein and
calcium to grow and develop healthily
while maintaining bone health later in
life. Both nutrients are naturally abundant
in dairy products such as milk,
cheese and yoghurts. The health benefits
of these products can be communicated
to consumers through many authorised
EU nutrition and health claims.
The beneficial effects of milk and
dairy products on health is well recognised
by nutrition science. It is the
combined responsibility of the scientific
community, policy makers and dairy industry
to communicate these facts to
the consumers to give them the best
available basis for making their everyday
dietary choices.
