It’s true. Milk does the body good. Milk and other dairy foods provide protein, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, vitamins A, D, and B12 and other nutrients that are vital to your body and how it functions. On the flip side, however, some dairy foods also contain saturated fat — a fat that can raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart disease. But some recent research suggests that eating milk, cheese and yogurt — regardless of fat content […]
A UC Riverside study to motivate your new year’s resolutions: it demonstrates that high-fat diets affect genes linked not only to obesity, colon cancer, and irritable bowels, but also to the immune system, brain function, and potentially COVID-19 risk. While other studies have examined the effects of a high-fat diet, this one is unusual in its scope. UCR researchers fed mice three different diets over the course of 24 weeks where at least 40 percent of the calories came from […]

One reason milk was prioritized over water was a result of a surplus created during WWII. Farmers and dairies were encouraged to ramp up their milk production to ship overseas to soldiers. Post-war, there was a massive surplus of milk and no demand to match it, so the U.S. government was forced to come up with a way to use it and so the very first federal subsidized program was enacted in 1940 targeting select schools in Chicago, to offer low-cost […]
