As a graduate student of nutrition, I often find myself
heating up the kitchen of countless parties or gatherings. Not because I am
cooking up all kinds of delicious appetizers and hors d’oeuvres, but rather because I am talking to people about food - food trends, popular diets, food avoidances etc. And the conversation almost always whips around to the topic of milk.<o:p></o:p><br />

Milk, although widely accepted by many around the world,
seems to stir up passionate debates in every setting with demands like: “Should
we drink milk?” “Is it safe?” “Raw, organic, or regular?” “Whole or skim?”
“Almond, Soy, or Cow? Camel milk?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All of these questions can be answered by taking a look at
the history of milk, animal milk that is. Its a story that begins back at the dawn of agriculture; about 10,000 B.C.E. Cuneiform tablets
indicate that ancient Near Easterners gave fresh milk to royalty, while the
common milk—that which was soured from sitting out—was used to make butter and
cheese. Romans offered <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">libum</i>,
essentially the original cheesecake, to the gods. Fast forwarding to 14<sup>th</sup>
century Europe, milk found its way to the top becoming the “white liquor,” a
necessary item for any respectable banquet or soiree. Milk (animal milk in general)
was a prized possession for Europeans—some might even argue it still is - evidenced by the highly sought after milk chocolate produced by that region. Interesting note about milk chocolate is that the milk itself is responsible for much of the flavor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, the history of dairy consumption has not always been favorable. Physicians once advised individuals to consume cheese after a large meal
to act as a kind of plug or stopper due to the constipation it causes some people. Likely the result of some intolerance and souring, many cultures viewed its consumption as barbaric and pungent. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You might ask yourself, "why then, have we evolved to indulge
in this white elixir? And should we even be drinking it?" The simple answer is yes, we should consume dairy. Here's a bit of history about why:<br />
<br />
Northern Europeans evolved
to tolerate lactose from the milk of domesticated animals thousands of years ago and benefited from its nutritional profile with longer life and healthier bones - the genes of those healthier individuals were passed on to future generations. At the time, people did not understand that it was milk's unique nutrient package which includes calcium, protein, and naturally occurring vitamin D that was giving them a survival advantage and preventing bone issues like rickets, but they knew that milk had its benefits and was contributing to a healthier, longer life. To quote an 1893 article found <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Hoard’s Dairyman: </i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“There is something
about milk which is nearly impossible to replace, that stimulates assimilation
and digestion and promotes growth.” </blockquote>
They were onto something, and thanks to a
man by the name of Elmer V. McCollum, in 1920 vitamin A was discovered by
looking at the fat from whole milk. This led to the discovery of vitamin D two
years later. Vitamin D is manufactured by the skin with sun exposure, and there are few foods that contain naturally-occuring vitamin D. Northern Europeans who had been drinking milk were getting a boost during the winter months—there’s not much sun up north- and the vitamin D found naturally in milk was helping maintain bone integrity. Due to its importance and because naturally-occuring vitamin D can be inconsistent in the milk supply, the U.S. began fortifying milk with Vitamin D in the 1930's. </div>

With what we have learned over the years about milk—cow’s
milk—from first the cultural and later nutritional standpoint, how can we deny
the benefits and nutrients it provides? Of course which milk you choose to
drink—whole, low-fat, skim, lactose-free, organic, raw, or regular—is entirely a personal
decision, but it is one that can be made with the satisfaction of knowing that
what you are getting is quality nutrition from hard working cows and farmers
near you. Perhaps McCollum said it best, “There is no substitute for [cows]
milk, and its use should be distinctly increased instead of diminished,
regardless of cost.”<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hormones
and their relationship to food are a hot topic, but… What are they? Are they in
my food naturally? Are they added to foods? What impact do they have on the
body? To answer these questions and understand the impact of hormones, we need
to learn a little about them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
study of hormones is called endocrinology, a term taken from the classical
definition of hormones, which states that they are messenger compounds secreted
by ductless glands in the body (endocrine glands) that cause an effect on
another organ, tissue or cell. In order to be biologically active and do their
job properly, each specific hormone needs a very specialized protein located on
the organ, tissue, or cell where they have an effect. These are called
receptors and their job is to bind the hormone and starts/cause their unique effect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think of it as a ball in a mitt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As individual entities, the two have little
effect, but, in baseball, a pop-fly that is caught results in an “out” and a
potential cascade of effects. An example of this in action is the hormone
insulin. Floating around in the blood stream, insulin is inert but once it
binds to an insulin receptor on cells, the compound is able to pull sugar
molecules from the bloodstream into the cells. When working properly, this
process keeps our blood sugar from getting too high. Extreme problems with this particular hormone/receptor mechanism can be described as diabetes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hormones
can be categorized into two broad classifications: steroids and protein
hormones (amino acids).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Examples of
steroid hormones are estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Examples of protein hormones include growth
hormone, insulin, or prolactin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
human body produces over 50 hormones and could not function without them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In
addition to the hormones your body makes, there are other sources of hormones. Animals and plants produce hormones naturally, so we eat hormones in our
food all the time, but the amounts we take in are low compared to what our
bodies produce naturally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s use
estrogen as an example. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<!--EndFragment--><span style="font-family: inherit;">What
effect does ingesting these hormones have on our body? The short answer is that only about 2-5% of
the hormones we eat actually make it into our body because of inactivation during
digestion. Of the protein hormones that we eat, essentially all of the hormone
is broken down in the stomach and has no effect. Steroids get inactivated as they pass through
the liver. When eaten in normal,
moderate amounts, dietary hormones have essentially no effect on our body and its ability to do its job.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What
happens when you give synthetic hormones to animals and then eat the meat or
milk?</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Basically the story is the same as
above.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Any hormone you eat will be
totally or partially degraded in the stomach (protein hormones) or the liver
(steroids).</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the case of bovine somatotrophin
(bovine growth hormone often abbreviated as rbST), not only is it degraded in the stomach, but the
structure and receptors in humans won’t work with the bovine (cow) version of
the hormone.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">This hormone is species
specific and inert in humans.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So,
should you be concerned?</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Probably
not.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Our</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> bodies produce the same hormones that we routinely ingest in food but in amounts that tend to dwarf the amounts we eat.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Normal intake of these foods should not have
any effect on the body since the stomach and liver inactivate hormones through natural digestion. As in all dietary practices, moderation is key since excessive consumption of any one food can throw the body out of balance. </span></div>

<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: left;">July is National Ice Cream Month, and we are celebrating with cones full of creamy goodness. As we began our celebration, we started thinking…. does gelato count as ice cream? What is the difference?</span></h2>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gelato is the Italian form of ice cream. It comes from the Latin
word <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #252525;">gelātus, which means frozen.
This popular version of ice cream, differs from the traditional American ice
cream in 3 ways: fat, air, and temperature. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fat</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Basic ice cream is a combination of milk, cream, sugar, and
often egg yolks (French style). These ingredients are first cooked together
into a rich custard and then cooled. Gelato starts with a similar base but has
a high ratio of milk to cream, and less (or no) egg yolks. American ice creams
are full of cream and must have a fat content of at least 10% by American
labeling laws. This percentage may be much higher in homemade or premium
versions. Because gelato has less cream and egg yolks and thus less fat,
consumers often feel that the flavors are more intense. This also leads to a
more silky, less creamy product. <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Air</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Once the bases are
made, both are churned. Ice creams are churned at high speed, which whips air into
them. This increases the volume and makes ice cream taste light and fluffy. More
air (called overrun) also creates a softer product that is easy to scoop, but
also melts more quickly. Less pricey ice creams tend to incorporate more air.
Gelato is churned at a much slower rate, incorporating little air and creating
a denser end product. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The last difference
is temperature, and gelato is traditionally served at a slightly warmer temperature than ice cream.
Because of gelato's density, storing it too cold yields something akin to an un-scoopable brick, but once
warmed slightly ~10-25 degress F, it becomes silky and soft. Ice Cream
must be served colder to keep it from melting, but because of the high fat and incorporated air, ice cream remains soft even at colder temperatures.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Butter has a 10,000 year history and has been used for
medicinal, cosmetic, religious, and monetary purposes in the past. In the
modern world, butter’s main purpose is in the culinary setting, and while it’s
use declined during the mid 1900s, butter is making a comeback! Sales have
increased as more and more people opt for the real butter taste. And butter is simple to make. You can do it yourself, at home, in just minutes. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
There is new and exciting research coming out about the
health benefits of full-fat dairy such as butter. Fat is an important nutrient
and a vital part of the diet. It plays a role in cell formation/signaling,
inflammation regulation, brain development/ function, and many other important
bodily functions. In the past there was concern about elevated cholesterol and
cardiovascular disease related to consuming the saturated fats from animal
products. However, current research is showing a correlation between dairy fat
and reduced risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes (the reasons for which
are not yet known). Full-fat products are still higher in calories and need to
be consumed in moderation to avoid access weight gain. However, since full-fat
products often taste better, it my be easier to eat less and still feel satisfied.<span style="color: #1049bc; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Butter is
made from a few natural ingredients. The process starts with fresh milk that is
separated into whole milk and cream. The cream is pasteurized and beaten until
is separates further and the liquid buttermilk can be drained off. At this
point salt is added (if it is salted butter). The remaining product is 80% fat,
16% water, and 3% milk solids. It is then chilled, packaged and delivered to
grocery stores. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">The yellow
color of butter is also perfectly natural and comes from the pigment found in carotene.
Carotene, a nutrient-rich substance made by plants, is found naturally in the food cows eat. Based on seasonal variations in hay, silage, and grain, the pigmentation can vary, which can change the color of butter from pale to bright yellow. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Making Your Own<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Making your own butter is easy and fun. You can do it by hand like our <a href="http://www.kutv.com/news/features/fresh-living/main/stories/vid_1540.shtml">Dairy Ambassadors on KUTV </a>or you can use a stand mixture (much faster). Making your own butter also allows to
you modify flavors/techniques to produce a unique, delicious addition to your
meals. Try some of our variations like tomato basil, lemon herb, fruit, honey, or cultured!

<b>Basic Recipe</b><br />
<i>Ingredients</i><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>2 cups of cold, heavy cream</li>
<li>¼ tsp salt (optional)</li>
<li>Ice water to wash the butter</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"><i>Method:</i></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Place
the cream in a stand mixture and beat. This can be done with the wire beater attachment
or the cookie dough paddle. Beat for about 5-10 minutes. At first the cream
will forms peaks, then get grainy, then turn solid with liquid buttermilk separation. Once the
butter is solid, drain off the buttermilk. Note:<span style="background-color: white;"> If making cultured butter (see recipe below), the buttermilk will be
tangy, like store bought, and can be stored and used later<i>. </i></span></li>
<li>Once the buttermilk
is drained, add ~½ cup of ice water. Mix the butter around and
notice that the water gets cloudy (this is more buttermilk). Drain and repeat
until water stays clear. Make sure to get as much water out as possible to
increase shelf life. A cheese-cloth can help with squeezing water out, or the
butter can be pressed against the mixing bowl.</li>
<li>If desired, salt can be added
near the end of the washing process. If salt is added too soon, it will all be
washed away, however some water helps it dissolve. You now have delicious
homemade butter.</li>
</ul>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Cold heavy
cream works best, not 'ultra' pasteurized</li>
<li>Wire beater
attachment works but takes longer</li>
<li>Cookie dough
attachment or paddle on a stand mixer beats without whipping, works much like
the old fashioned paddle churn. (Preference)</li>
<li>Excess liquid
will cause the butter to spoil faster</li>
<li>Rubber
scraper works well to press the butter against the sides of the bowl and remove
excess buttermilk and water</li>

Combining foods can help enhance flavors and boost nutrition. Think: bread + peanut butter, veggies + cheese, fruit + nuts. Each of these combinations pairs a carbohydrate-rich food with protein-rich food, a technique which not only tastes great, but also improves satiety and helps keep you satisfied longer.<br />
<br />
Oats (carbohydrate-rich) + Dairy (protein-rich) is a powerhouse combination that delivers important nutrients often lacking in the typical
American diet. In fact, only 15% of Americans meet the USDA recommendation for 3 daily servings of dairy, and many Americans
are also falling short when it comes to whole grains. Just 1% of Americans meet
the recommendation to consume whole grains for at least half of their total
grains (recommendations vary based on age, gender, and size).<br />
<br />
<b>Understanding serving sizes can help:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>1 Serving of Dairy =</i> 1 cup of milk or yogurt (8oz), 1.5 oz. of natural cheese, or 2 oz. of processed cheese (an ounce is about the size of your thumb)</li>
<li><i>1 Serving of Whole Grains = </i>1 cup of whole grain cold cereal, ½ cup of cooked hot
cereals such as oatmeal, 1 slice of 100% whole grain bread, or 1 oz. uncooked
whole grain pasta or brown rice (about the size of your fist)</li>
</ul>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Whole grain oats and dairy each have their own unique nutrient
profile and provide certain essential nutrients. By pairing them, you fill in
the nutrients the other is missing. For example, 1 cup of low-fat
milk provides calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus, riboflavin, vitamin B12,
potassium, vitamin A, and protein. Oats provide iron, magnesium, fiber, and
other B vitamins. Oatmeal cooked with
milk, instead of water, adds 9 essential nutrients and 2.5 times more
protein. These nutrients are vital for maintaining a healthy body.</div>

<b>Why Eat Breakfast</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Regular breakfast has been linked to weight control,
improved nutrition, and <a href="http://www.utahdairycouncil.com/learningconnection.html" target="_blank">better performance at school</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, 1 in 5 Americans skip breakfast. Those who do eat breakfast often miss out on protein. Incorporating Dairy and
Oats at breakfast provides protein, which can help curb mid-morning hunger and
keep you satisfied and focused. Also, breakfasts that incorporate milk are
associated with a higher intake of calcium, vitamin D and potassium, but not a higher
intake of calories, fat, or added sugar. Enjoying oats or other whole grains at
breakfast provides many important nutrients, including fiber, which is important
for healthy digestion. Like protein, fiber also helps maintain satiety. Breakfast is too important to skip, so if you are
short on time in the morning, check out some of the recipes below that can be
made ahead of time. <o:p></o:p><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">BBQ’s and summer events
can be wonderful opportunities to relax in the summer weather and spend time
with family and friends. They can also be times to consume lots of high
calorie foods. I always recommend that patients bring their own dish to
a holiday or summer party – that way they are assured there will be a healthful
option available. Here are a
few menu ideas to consider for your next summer BBQ that will help maintain your
health goals in a delicious way!</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="p1">
Cheese curds, often called “squeaky cheese,” are a popular snack, not only for the taste, but also for the small mouse like squeak sounds when you take a bite. So what makes squeaky cheese squeak? To find out we asked two local cheese experts, Dave Larsen with Gossner Foods in Logan, UT and Pat Ford with Beehive Cheese Co. in Ogden, UT. They gladly shared the secret.<br />

The squeak in squeaky cheese is produced by it’s cheddaring process and freshness. These tasty little curds are not a byproduct, but rather the first product of cheese making. The traditional cheddaring process starts with letting the milk ripen, which allows bacteria to convert lactose, the natural sugar found in milk, into lactic acid. This lowers the pH and causes the milk to curdle. The addition of rennet, an enzyme used in cheese making, also aids in this curdling process. As the milk curdles, it sets. After setting, the mixture is cooked and the liquid whey is drained. You are now left with curds which are cut into strips and turned over and over to remove the moisture. This process is called “cheddaring the cheese.” Lastly salt is added to keep the pH from dropping further and improve the flavor. The result: yummy cheese curds. When the curds are less than 36 hours old the protein in the cheese is not yet broken down by the bacteria in the added cultures. This gives the cheese a more rubbery texture and causes that fun squeak. </div>

<div class="p1">
Curd can be eaten as is or pressed into a mold and allowed to age. As the curds age they loose their squeak and turn into the blocks of cheese typically purchased at the store.<br />

Other fun facts:</div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">The orange color (see photo of Gossner cheese curd above) is due to a vegetable based food dye, they would otherwise be white. </li>
<li class="li1">Cheese curds taste so yummy in part because of the extra salt on the outside.</li>
<li class="li1">Because they don’t have to age, cheese curds allow quick revenue for cheese makers to purchase new milk, while their other cheeses age.</li>
</ul>
<div class="p1">
Tips from Dave and Pat:</div>
<ul class="ul1">
<li class="li1">Cheese curds are great fried, melted over fries, or are great fresh for snacking, or picnics.</li>
<li class="li1">To bring some of the squeakiness back, pop a couple curds in a microwave for just a few seconds.</li>
</ul>
<div>
You can purchase Gossner cheese curds at their store in <a href="http://www.gossner.com/home/gossner/admin.php?do=contactuschoices" target="_blank">Logan, UT</a> and find <a href="https://www.beehivecheese.com/" target="_blank">Beehive Cheese</a> Curd at their storefront in Ogden and at grocery stores across the state.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As a sport dietitian, I have the opportunity to talk with athletes and active individuals about the nutrients they need to support their activity and promote overall health. While everyone’s needs are individual, there are common nutrients I discuss with all athletes. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Adequate </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">carbohydrate</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> provides energy</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">Protein</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> helps build muscle and repair tissue</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">Fat</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> delivers fuel as well as anti-inflammatory benefits</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Electrolytes like </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">sodium, potassium, and chloride</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> assist fluid balance</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">- Minerals like </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">Calcium</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">Vitamin D</b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> are essential for proper bone health.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It can be overwhelming for athletes to figure out how meet their nutrient needs, so I often work with them to discuss food choices that not only meet their needs but their taste preferences as well. Because dairy foods are a source of all these nutrients – carbohydrate, protein, fat, sodium, potassium, chloride, Vitamin D, calcium, and also B vitamins needed for energy metabolism, it is an ideal nutrient-rich powerhouse for athletes. While it’s an amazingly efficient choice, it can be concerning for athletes who are lactose intolerant and believe that they must eliminate dairy from their diet. It is important for me to address this myth with my concerned patients. </span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<a href="http://dairyutnv.blogspot.com/2011/08/decoding-lactose-intolerance.html" style="font-family: inherit;">Lactose intolerance</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is not an allergy, and in most cases lactose is not something we have to completely eliminate from our diet. While some individuals decrease their tolerance for lactose as they age, they typically can tolerate smaller amounts of lactose without any digestive discomfort. This is great news for those who enjoy the taste of dairy foods, and want to reap the nutritional benefits of all that dairy has to offer. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are some practical tips I provide to athletes who experience some degree of lactose intolerance: </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dairy products vary in the amount of lactose that they contain. While an 8 ounce glass of milk has 12 grams of lactose, a lowfat Greek yogurt only has 4 grams. A lowfat mozzarealla string cheese has less than .1 gram! For individuals choosing protein powder, a whey protein isolate also has less than .1 gram. So be aware that these lower lactose-containing products are great choices. (<a href="http://dairyutnv.blogspot.com/2013/02/yogurt-and-kefir-offer-powerful.html">More about yogurt</a>)</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">While milk (whole, 2%, 1%, and skim) does have higher amounts of lactose, it is also a great source of fluid, protein, carbohydrate, and minerals, and can be an integral part of a recovery meal/snack. I encourage athletes to consider a lactose free milk product such as Lactaid Milk (there are even chocolate varieties for those of you chocolate milk-loving athletes!). Additionally, there are other lactose free products to consider, such as lactose free ice cream and cottage cheese.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Integrate dairy foods into a meal, and they may be better tolerated.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Natural, hard cheeses are naturally lower in lactose and can be easily shredded and added to salads, soups, etc.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have already eliminated dairy and want to re-introduce it, do so gradually so your body increases its tolerance.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am often asked then about <a href="http://dairyutnv.blogspot.com/2011/07/changing-face-of-dairy-case.html" target="_blank">milk alternatives</a> – rice, soy, and almond beverages. These products are not bad for us, but they will not give us the same nutritional benefit as milk. They are more processed, and their nutrient content is highly variable due to fortification. (Milk is naturally nutrient-rich, while many of these other beverages have nutrients added.) </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are a variety of food sources that will give us the nutrients we need as active individuals. Just keep in mind lactose intolerance doesn’t have to prevent us from consuming dairy and getting a nutrient-dense, delicious source, of all the different nutrients that we need!</span></div>

To become a certified organic dairy farm, farmers must meet the additional requirements of USDA’s National Organic Program (NOP), which, in addition to other standards, stipulates that organic farmers must use only organic fertilizers and pesticides; they are also not allowed to give their cows antibiotics or supplemental hormones, nor are they able to graze or feed their animals with GMO crops. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All milk and dairy foods, whether they are produced conventionally or organically, deliver a powerhouse of nutrients including calcium, vitamin D, potassium, and protein, and adding milk to the diet is a excellent way to boost overall nutrition and maintain health. Consumers have a choice and can purchase whatever type of milk best fits with their lifestyle, but all milk offers excellent nutrition. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0082429">A recent study</a>, published Monday by researchers at Washington State University, compares the fatty acid profile of organic vs. conventional whole milk over an 18-month period and may raise questions for consumers as to whether or not there is a distinct difference between the nutritional profile of the two choices. Researchers found a statistically significant yet small difference in the amount of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids between the two types of milk. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<b>So what does this mean?</b></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fats - we get them from food and they each play an important metabolic role in the body. Recent discussion among researchers and health professionals has centered around the idea of whether there is an ideal fatty acid ratio among omega-6 and omega-3 fats, and dietary recommendations over the past several years have encouraged Americans to consume more omega-3 fatty acids from fish, nuts, seeds and healthy vegetable oils in order to reduce this ratio. Milk is not a primary source of omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids, and it is unlikely that a shift in milk choice from conventional to organic would impact the overall dietary ratio of these fatty acids. Furthermore, due to the observational nature of this study, it is unclear whether or not a shift in the fatty acid profile of whole milk will have significant health impacts and for whom. Instead, if the goal is to increase omega-3 fatty acids, the dietary focus should be on vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, and oily fish. </span>More information about the fatty acid profile comparison from PhD, Greg Miller can be found on <a href="http://www.thedairyreport.com/regular-vs-organic-milk-fatty-acid-composition/">The Dairy Report</a>.<br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Dietary Guidelines for Americans still recommend low-fat and fat-free dairy foods as a way to help reduce overall caloric intake and curb the obesity epidemic. The findings in this study apply only to whole milk, since low-fat and fat-free milk have had the fat removed. While there is new and exciting research emerging about the health benefits of full-fat dairy foods, including whole milk in the diet will raise overall calories, which would necessitate a shift in other dietary choices to maintain caloric balance. Most health professionals continue to recommend low-fat and fat free options. </span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In this study’s analysis, the focus was on comparing the amount and types of fat between organically and conventionally produced whole milk. The authors did not examine or compare the amounts of most vitamins and minerals, which is primary the reason many people choose dairy products. In a <a href="http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2012/10/15/peds.2012-2579">report</a> published last year on organic foods, the American Academy of Pediatrics found few if any nutritional differences overall between organic and conventional milk. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
When it comes to the type of dairy, you have lots of choices - a variety of fat levels and methods of production, but researchers agree that dairy foods are an affordable, nutrient rich contribution to a healthy diet.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">by Kary Woodruff MS, RD, CSSD</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In a nutshell, it’s all about planning…</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One of my primary aims as a dietitian is to help individuals achieve a higher quality of life and better health through nutrition. While losing weight, consuming more fruits and vegetables, and eating out less often may all be goals for better health, I have found that meal planning is one common denominator for successfully achieving these goals. So how’s it done?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Many of us know objectively that we should eat more fruits and vegetables. We know we should choose whole grains, cook more of our meals at home, and eat red meat and processed foods in moderation, so what prevents us from following through with these recommendations? Often it’s a lack of time and a lack of preparation. Meal planning is what arms us with the tools to be successful with our goals.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The essence of meal planning is to have a game plan for the week. It can be accomplished any number of ways. For my family, this entails sitting down Saturday morning, looking at the calendars for the week, and deciding how dinner will happen given our schedules – work obligations, children’s schedules, social events, etc. I decide which nights I will have time to prepare a meal (always accounting for leftovers, either for another dinner, or for lunches), which nights I need to make something quick and easy, and which nights I will need to pull something from the freezer. I always try and make one or two dishes on the weekend, with the option of freezing a meal for future use. Then I put together the grocery list with the items I’ll need for dinner items, as well as for breakfast and lunch, and any other pantry staples that are running low.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While every family will have its own method, here are some tips for finding your approach:</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">First, develop a </span><b style="font-family: inherit;">routine</b><span style="font-family: inherit;">! This is the most important part – to have a time each week designated for meal planning. It can be a weekend, or a weekday morning or an evening. Just choose a time that consistently allows for coming up with a plan. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Second, see if there is a chunk of time each week where you can get some <b>prep work</b> done. For me, this includes making a meal or 2 ahead of time; for others this entails prepping some vegetables, grains, and proteins so that they are ready to be used. Carve out some time to get things in order and it can help meal time run much smoother!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, I am a big fan of the <b>slow cooker</b>. I use this to prepare at least one of my meals ahead of time on the weekend, and it is great for having dinner ready when you get home from a busy weekday as well. The slow cooker cooks wonderful stews and soups that can be frozen for future meals. It is also great for cooking roasts and whole chickens/turkeys, which can be used for several meals throughout the week. For example, if I roast a chicken on Sunday, I can use the meat one night for chicken tacos, and another night for a chicken stir-fry. With any leftover meat I’ll make chicken salads or wraps for lunches. That is wonderfully efficient.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So whatever your nutrition goals are – even if just to be healthier at home – set yourself up for success and carve out some time for meal planning.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jeff Zachwieja from the Dairy Research Institute, addressed the exciting frontier of dairy-related research, and highlighted some new findings related to the relationship between dairy food consumption and reduced risk for cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes. Dr. Zachwieja discussed the potential benefits of full-fat dairy foods and the hypothesized mechanisms by which dairy and its unique package of nutrients have a positive impact on health. Dr. Zachwieja also addressed the budding and exciting topic of sustainable nutrition. Defining what “eating sustainably” means can be complex, but dairy farmers are leading the way in producing high quality products, rich in protein and other nutrients in environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable ways.</span><br />

My Plate, the US Government’s conceptualization of how to incorporate the dietary guidelines into an everyday eating pattern shows dairy off to the side of the plate, implying a cup of milk or a carton of yogurt; however, Amy encouraged us to think about incorporating dairy throughout the plate for a great source of protein and essential nutrients. </span><br />

Attendees were encouraged to submit questions prior to the event, and invited to ask questions during the discussion. Our conversation spanned a variety of topics from breakfast and recipe innovation to how farmers treat sick animals to the process of funding dairy-related research.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">There’s no better time than now to enjoy some great dairy treats and physical activity. The wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables in season and the extra hours of sunshine each day can really encourage you to make some healthy choices. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Whether you get your produce from a grocery store, farmers’ market, or in your own garden, now is the time to pair these great favorites with some tasty dairy products. You can top off your ice cream, frozen yogurt, or yogurt with some blueberries, raspberries or strawberries, and don’t forget the cherry on top! The next time you make a <a href="http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/guacamole-grilled-cheese-sandwich/">grilled cheese sandwich</a>, add some tomatoes, avocado and fresh spinach for some extra nutrients and eye appeal. Also, try making a vegetable or fruit dip using Greek yogurt. Using yogurt for a dip can typically enhance the nutritional benefits and decrease the fat and caloric content.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The second component to a healthy summer is to get moving! This time of the year there is plenty of daylight and warm weather to satisfy any physical activity craving you may have. Whether you enjoy hiking, swimming or even taking a tour at a local dairy farm, your heart, lungs and muscles will all thank you. So grab your bottle of water and sunscreen and head outdoors. Don’t forget to replenish with some chocolate milk after you’re done exercising. The protein and sugar combination is perfect for building up your muscles and restocking your sugar stores.

Recently, a group of professionals came together in order to
improve the <a href="http://www.utahdairycouncil.com/FUTP60.html">Fuel Up to Play 60 (FUTP 60) programs taking place in many schools around Utah</a>. Although, many of these schools have taken the first steps to
begin the FUTP 60 program, this year the goal is to get more schools in Utah
involved, and to see the resulting, positive benefits. Through the help of FUTP
60 mentors, dietitians, PE teachers, and administrators, barriers were
addressed and goals were set for the upcoming months. <o:p></o:p></div>

Fuel Up to
Play 60 (FUTP 60) is a nationwide program started by the National Dairy
Council, National Football League (NFL), and the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA). It was built on the idea that a healthy diet, including
low-fat and fat free dairy products, along with physical activity can lead to student
success. With this program, a student team is developed in each school, and with
the help of a mentor and program advisor, various nutrition and physical
activity functions are developed to take place throughout the school year. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<a href="http://dairyutnv.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-wellness-impact-healthy-students.html">Research has shown that students suffer</a> when poor nutrition and lack of physical
activity become lifelong habits. In the short-term, students are more likely to
be tardy or absent, have difficulties concentrating during class, have
increased behavioral issues, and increased health issues. In the long-term,
poor health will lead to higher healthcare costs for businesses and government,
lack of intellectual preparedness in the workforce, and decreased military
readiness. It is important to address these issues now, and the FUTP 60 program
is a great first step. <o:p></o:p><br />

At the
meeting, professionals identified barriers, including finding time for the
student team to meet, working alongside cafeteria management to achieve mutual objectives, getting parents and school board members committed
to the program, and lack of training for the student team members. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Several
goals and exciting ideas were discussed for next school year. One major goal is
to develop a student team training that will help teach team members what their
roles are and how to get their fellow students involved. Other goals included
increased principal, teacher, and cafeteria manager involvement, offering
exciting incentives to both students and program advisors, increased
recognition for both students and teachers involved in the program, and increased
promotion of the FUTP 60 program throughout the community. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
With each new school year comes exciting
opportunities, and the Fuel Up to Play 60 program would make a great addition

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">by Guest Blogger, Kary Woodruff, MS RD CSSD</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Summer is my favorite season of the year – not just for the longer days, or the plethora of outdoor activities that are available, but also because summer means CSA season. I get asked a lot of questions about CSAs, so I thought I would shed some light on this wonderful opportunity.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">CSAs are Community Supported Agriculture, and the University of Massachusetts Extension program sums it up well: </span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is a partnership of mutual commitment between a farm and a community of supporters which provides a direct link between the production and consumption of food” </span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Essentially, a CSA helps bring the farm to your table.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">In the United States, almost every state gets 85% of its food from somewhere else.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Food in the grocery store typically travels 1,300 miles to get to its destination.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">This means we are not eating local, fresh foods.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">We know when food travels less distance, it is fresher, retains more of its nutrients, and helps to support</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> our local economies. CSAs are a great way to link local growers with consumers. </span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9KijBpJYbA_nHMgTYCtcs__XaxfiuvD2rD0tKnTxbOl_SqxiQUJ-eJV0W3AbYVClPpw1VlCoUVD5T82V3Qcjgnq6enSEb88iEnPEQYAb4iFDTXxp77qliPslkU9mi2SPqO10O1-47xd2g/s1600/Downtown-Farmers-Market.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Local Farmers Markets" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9KijBpJYbA_nHMgTYCtcs__XaxfiuvD2rD0tKnTxbOl_SqxiQUJ-eJV0W3AbYVClPpw1VlCoUVD5T82V3Qcjgnq6enSEb88iEnPEQYAb4iFDTXxp77qliPslkU9mi2SPqO10O1-47xd2g/s320/Downtown-Farmers-Market.jpg" title="Local Farmers Market" width="219" /></a></td></tr>

</tbody></table>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">CSAs can be incredibly easy to use and there are various options to provide flexibility. Some CSA’s are seasonal where you get a weekly basket of food throughout the summer, fall, or spring. Some CSAs let you try the product out without a commitment, so you can purchase a basket of food for just one week. There are all different sizes of food shares, such as buying a ½ share, or a full share. Typically there are designated pick-up sites for your weekly share, though some farms offer individual delivery. Some CSAs offer just vegetables, while others offer fruit, and some also offer meat, dairy, & eggs. They are all so different, so if you are interested I would recommend checking out the website <a href="http://www.csautah.org/"><span style="color: #1738f5;">CSAUtah.org</span></a>. There you will find a directory for all of the CSA options available in Utah and you can find one to fit your needs. Visiting your local farmers market is also a great way to support and meet local growers. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dairy foods are naturally local foods. Most dairy products travel less than 250 miles (often much less) to arrive on your grocery shelf, and 48-72 hours is the average time it takes for milk to get from the farm to your fridge. If you are interested in local home delivery, both Rosehill Dairy (northern Utah only) and Winder Farms (Utah & Nevada) provide delivery of fresh, nutritious dairy products right to your home from Utah’s own dairy farms. <a href="http://www.utahdairycouncil.com/452.html"><span style="color: #1738f5;">Click for more info</span></a>. </span></div>

<b>What Does Sustainability Mean to Dairy Farmers? </b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Providing consumers with the nutritious dairy products they want, in a way that makes the industry, people and the earth economically, environmentally and socially better - now and for future generations.</i></blockquote>
Sustainability is a complex term. It not only refers to conservation of ecological balance, but it also enables something to be maintained and continued. Increasingly, sustainability is a philosophy - it impacts what people choose to buy, how they eat and where they shop. <a href="http://dairygood.org/dairy-farmers-help-sustain-local-communities-environment/" target="_blank">For dairy farmers sustainability is inherent in what they do</a>. In order to produce consistent high quality milk and maintain a healthy farm environment, farmers are committed to preserving their natural resources and constantly working to improve efficiencies to maintain a healthy operation for their families, their land, and their animals. Many farms are multigenerational, and passing on the family farm to the next generation is an important part of what sustainability means to a dairy farmer.<br />

<br />
No matter how much dairy farmers have done, they are constantly working to improve their sustainability efforts, and the dairy industry is a leader in bringing together all parts of the supply chain to reduce dairy's carbon footprint. <a href="http://www.usdairy.com/Sustainability/OurCommitment/Pages/Home.aspx" target="_blank">In fact, since 1944, dairy farmers have reduced their carbon footprint by 63%</a> in order to produce the same levels of milk. Instead of considering manure a waste product that needs to be disposed of, farmers look for ways to turn manure into useable fertilizer or energy.<br />

In 2009 Dairy farmers made a voluntary pledge to reduce their output of greenhouse gas emissions by 25% over the next 10 years. Since then, thousands of dairy farms have been able to become more sustainable.<br />
<br />
Last week, <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/gov-tom-vilsack/us-dairy-industry-leading_b_3148862.html" target="_blank">farmers announced a renewed commitment</a> to preserving and protecting our natural world by renewing a 3-year commitment with USDA. And also last week, <a href="http://dairygood.org/dairy-spotlights-efforts-commitment-to-environment-and-sustainability/" target="_blank">6 dairy farm families were recognized</a> for their efforts at the 2nd Annual U.S. Dairy Sustainability Awards. Congrats and thanks for your efforts. We look forward to more in the years to come.<br />
<br />
So as you contemplate your own food choices and how your actions impact the environment, remember that small changes add up. Feel confident in knowing that each time you reach for a cold glass of milk, a cup of yogurt, or slice off a piece of cheese, you are supporting an industry that is committed to protecting our world now and into the future.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">by Guest Blogger, Kary Woodruff</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I recently had the fortunate opportunity to take a tour of some of Utah’s dairy farms – an experience more insightful than I had anticipated. I am not sure what I expected – perhaps to see some cows being milked and several large vats of milk? But this isn't what I saw. Instead, I witnessed and experienced a way of life. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For generations, these dairy farm families have poured their hearts and souls into what they produce – dairy – a product that not only sustains them economically, but a product that provides quality nourishment for all of us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If I had to find one word to describe the feeling I got from these farms it would be <b><i>pride</i></b>. All the farmers we meet took time from their incredibly full days to show us their livelihood. It quickly became apparent that this was more than just a way of making a living. Though, like many industries, the economic situation for dairy farmers has been bleak these past few years, I saw passion in these families. For them, dairy farming not only seemed to be something they <i>did,</i> it seemed a part of who they <i>are.</i> They believe in what they do and they stand behind their products.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My appreciation for dairy products deepened through this process. The milk produced on these farms came from cows that are treated humanely and respectfully. They get fresh air daily and are not crammed in the tight quarters I imagined them to be. Nor are they pumped with high doses of hormones and antibiotics as we are lead to believe from the media. These are cows doing what their bodies are designed to do in a safe and ethical manner. My experience revealed quite plainly that quality dairy is being produced from quality ingredients.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I went home that night and enjoyed my glass of milk more than I ever had. I had a much deeper respect for the process that brought this carton from the dairy farm up the road to my own refrigerator. If you ever get an opportunity such as this I recommend you take it! You sure won't take your dairy foods for granted!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There’s nothing more refreshing than a dish of creamy frozen yogurt. Its sweet and tangy flavor makes it a favorite for many. Not only has the frozen dairy case exploded with new products, but serve-yourself frozen yogurt shops, have once again begun popping up around the country (think Pinkberry, Yogurtland, OrangeLeaf, Red Mango). But does this delicious treat also offer health benefits? </span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>General Thoughts: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unlike many desserts that only offer empty calories, fat, and sugar, frozen yogurt can offer vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Milk products, including frozen yogurt, make up approximately 75% of the calcium intake in Americans’ diets and are also great sources of phosphorus, zinc, vitamin B12, and riboflavin. Many frozen yogurts are low or non-fat, which means they may be lower in calories, and many are great sources of protein, which can help keep you satisfied. Another positive benefit is that frozen yogurt is the perfect base for some delicious healthful toppings. Try adding sliced strawberries, bananas, blueberries or nuts to the top of your frozen yogurt.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let's take a look at some of your options...</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>In the Grocery Store:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The market continues to emerge with various types and brands of frozen yogurt, and as you cruise through the frozen dairy aisle, you may notice that a wide variety of companies are taking advantage of the popularity of frozen yogurt. How can you make sure that you are choosing the right one for you? First, take a look at the nutrition label on each product before making your decision. Not all frozen yogurts are as healthful as regular yogurts. A few things you should keep an eye out for:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Total calories and fat per serving:</i> Just as some brands of regular and Greek yogurt are full fat and higher in calories, some types of frozen yogurts are also higher in fat and calories. Depending on your dietary goals and preferences, you may want to choose a low-fat or fat-free option.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Protein:</i> If you are looking for a treat with higher protein, compare your options - most often Greek varieties will have the highest levels of protein, reaching up to 10 grams per ½ cup serving. Some brands have added additional whey protein to boost their product's nutritional value.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Calcium:</i> Calcium content may be lower in frozen yogurt products than in regular yogurt. Always try to pick a brand that has fortified with calcium, so you receive those benefits as well.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>Live and Active Cultures Seal:</i> If you want to ensure that you are eating a high quality frozen yogurt, always look for the National Yogurt Association’s </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">Live and Active Cultures Seal. </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">This seal verifies that live cultures and fermentation occurred during the production of that frozen yogurt, and that it has the same probiotic benefits seen in original yogurt. (<a href="http://dairyutnv.blogspot.com/2013/02/yogurt-and-kefir-offer-powerful.html" target="_blank">More on probiotics</a>) The live cultures actually go into a dormant state during the freezing process, but are reactivated when you eat the frozen yogurt. The next time you’re in the grocery store, keep an eye out for this seal on the products you are purchasing. It is not always clearly visible, but most </span><a href="http://aboutyogurt.com/index.asp?bid=54" style="font-family: inherit;">major brands</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> have acquired it. In addition, several self-serve frozen yogurt shops, such as Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt, Yogurtland, TCBY, Pinkberry, Yogurt Stop, Cold Stone Creamery, and YoCream International also have the seal.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Options at Retail Outlets:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Finding the nutrition info on popular retail brands is often available online. If you are curious about what you are loading in your self-serve cup, take a look at the company's website where you may find the nutrition facts as well as allergen and ingredient information. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Finally...</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Although there are many health benefits to frozen yogurt, it is important to still practice portion control when enjoying your treat - especially at serve-yourself establishments. Frozen yogurt is often low in fat and calories, but overindulging on large portions can provide your body with excess sugar and calories that can result in negative outcomes in the long-term. Also remember that the toppings you add can tip the scale if you’re not careful. Try to refrain from adding excessive amounts of candy bar toppings, whipped cream, or baked goodies.</span><br />

Enhancing Academic Success Through Healthy School Environments</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The National Dairy Council, GENYOUth Foundation, American College of Sports Medicine, and American School Health Association have joined forces in promoting the importance of nutrition and physical activity in schools. The release of a new report, <i>The Wellness Impact,</i> addresses why schools play a more important role than ever in helping forge the nation's future. Children spend over 2,000 hours in school each year, and this reports illuminates the VITAL importance of improved nutrition and increased physical activity in creating an environment that enriches students' readiness to learn.

<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Research is proving that health is not a competing factor against academic success, rather is an essential building block. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Consuming healthy meals, including dairy foods, ensures that kids are primed and ready for school each day. Breakfast is key since it breaks a nighttime fast and refuels the brain and muscles with necessary carbohydrates. Adding protein (milk and/or yogurt) is essential for keeping kids satisfied, maintaining normal blood sugar, and providing building blocks for growth and development. School breakfast programs can be a great option! Studies show that students who eat breakfast at school have higher math and verbal scores, pay better attention in class, are less likely to be absent or tardy, and less likely to make a visit to the school nurse. Breakfast is also a great opportunity to consume key nutrients that are needed each day, and eating breakfast decreases the chances of developing depression, anxiety, and hyperactivity.</span><br />
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Engaging in 60 minutes or more of daily activity is also a key component to academic success. Studies have actually shown that students who undergo physical activity have more engaged minds. These higher levels of brain activity carry over into the classroom, leading to a greater learning environment. </span><br />

by Lauren Daub, RD<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Getting the three recommended servings of dairy each day does not have to be a difficult task. Breakfast is a great time to incorporate dairy into your diet, and the <a href="http://www.nationaldairycouncil.org/EducationMaterials/HealthProfessionalsEducationKits/Pages/Protein.aspx">protein</a> that it offers will keep you satisfied until lunch. So go ahead, grab a utensil, and dig in!</span><br />

Make Them with Milk!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A simple, yet healthful choice is cereal and milk. Always choose a cereal that is high in whole grains and low in added sugar (check for the whole grains council seal and aim for less than 5g of sugar per serving). Consider adding banana slices, strawberries, or blueberries on top for an extra nutritious kick.</div>
<ul>
<li>Try preparing oatmeal (instant packets, regular, or steel cut) with milk instead of water. The milk will add nutritious benefits, and result in a creamier, rich product. For a touch of sweetness, try mixing your oatmeal with yogurt. </li>
<li>Mix together yogurt or cottage cheese, fruit, and granola for a scrumptious parfait. If your days start early, try mixing this up the night before for a quick grab-and-go in the morning. </li>
<li>Prepare a delicious breakfast sandwich or omelet with low-fat cheese for a filling breakfast meal.</li>
<li>Grab a blender and add yogurt, ice, fruit, and a little milk for a quick, sweet smoothie.\Try topping your pancakes or waffles with yogurt instead of butter and syrup. You will receive the same sweet flavor plus the nutrients it offers. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In addition to breakfast, many of these options make great snacks or dinner choices. Milk, yogurt, and low-fat cheese can be used as additions or substitutions in many recipes. It's never the wrong time to incorporate more dairy into your diet. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From congestion to sore throats and fever, the flu has been in full force this year. In fact, data collected for the week of Feb. 2nd shows that Utah is one of the 6 states in the nation still reporting high influenza-like illness levels. Aside from getting a flu shot, what else can you do to safeguard your body against getting sick? </span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Research has shown that good nutrition and certain vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D, zinc, and protein, in your body can actually help boost your immune system. All these nutrients can be found in dairy products!</span><br />
<ul>
<li style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Studies have shown that people with low levels of vitamin D, (levels less than 38 ng/mL<span style="color: #555555;">,</span> may have compromised immune function. The Vitamin D Council reports that vitamin D helps produce proteins in the body that have antibiotic properties, and help decrease the odds of developing bacterial and viral infections. In addition to fortified milk and yogurt, vitamin D can be obtained from sunlight, but the winter months can be tricky. (<a href="http://intermountainhealthcare.org/blogs/Pages/Getting-Vitamin-D-during-the-dead-of-winter.aspx">A blog post by Intermountain Cardiologist John Day, MD</a>) Not only are the days shorter, but the sun's position in the sky is not ideal for vitamin D absorption. Food sources become your best option! </span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Zinc helps the body produce white blood cells. These little warriors help destroy unwanted bacteria and viruses in the body. Many Americans have low levels of zinc, and knowing good food sources can help reach your 12-15mg/day target. In addition to dairy products, larger amounts of zinc are found in meat, nuts, and eggs. </span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Protein has powerful effects on your immune system as well. All the molecules in the body that fight off the flu are made of protein. So, when you drink that protein-rich glass of milk, reach for a cup of yogurt, or enjoy a slice of cheese, you are providing your body with the building blocks it needs to boost immunity. All dairy products, lean cuts of meat, eggs, beans/legumes, fish and nuts are good sources of protein. <a href="http://www.nationaldairycouncil.org/EducationMaterials/HealthProfessionalsEducationKits/Pages/Protein.aspx">Check out the latest protein materials from National Dairy Council</a></span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px; min-height: 15px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Last, but definitely not least - probiotics! <a href="http://dairyutnv.blogspot.com/2013/02/yogurt-and-kefir-offer-powerful.html">These healthy bacteria found in yogurt and kefir</a> help fight off the bad bacteria in your intestine, reducing your chances of developing the flu. </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It doesn’t matter whether you’re enjoying a bowl of cereal and milk, a smoothie, or some low-fat cheese and crackers, you can be sure that the vitamins and minerals in these dairy products are doing their best to keep you feeling your best this winter season.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It’s that time of the year when love fills the air. A homemade, delicious dessert is a great way to say, "I love you" and satisfy a sweet tooth. Incorporating dairy not only adds wonderful flavor, but it adds a nutritional punch. Calcium, vitamin D, protein, potassium, vitamin A, vitamins B12, riboflavin, niacin, and phosphorus help strengthen bones, rebuild muscles, maintain good vision, and ensure that enzymes in your body are functioning properly. </span><br />

Consuming three dairy foods each day is an important part of
establishing a healthy diet. Dairy provides your body with the nutrients it needs to defend against osteoporosis, heart disease, and replenish muscles after a workout. However,
did you know that certain products, such as yogurt and kefir, could also help
with digestion? Probiotics refer to healthful gut bacteria, and dairy products like yogurt and kefir are both great sources. Talk about power foods!<br />

<h3>
Yogurt & Kefir - What Are They?</h3>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yogurt and kefir both begin their
journeys as milk, but after the addition of healthy bacteria and/or yeast, the milk ferments into its final product - creamy, tangy, delicious treats! Yogurt uses only bacteria during the fermentation process while kefir uses both bacteria and yeast during fermentation, yielding a more-liquidy, drinkable product.<br />
<br />
Studies have shown that certain strains of probiotics, such as <span style="color: #262626; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Lactobacillus</span><span style="color: #262626; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> or Bifidobacterium,</span><i><span style="color: #262626; font-family: Helvetica; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;"> </span></i>found
in these foods, can decrease constipation, diarrhea, and symptoms associated
with irritable bowel syndrome. Furthermore, many people who suffer from lactose intolerance and feel that they have to avoid dairy foods can tolerate yogurt and kefir. The healthy bacteria in these products digest milk's natural sugar (lactose) making them acceptable for lactose intolerant
individuals. <a href="http://dairyutnv.blogspot.com/2011/08/decoding-lactose-intolerance.html">Read more about lactose intolerance</a>. Studies are still being done to uncover all the healthful benefits
of probiotics, but the possibilities are promising!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is
important to realize that not all probiotics are created equally, which is why
it is important to do research before making a purchase. Many companies have
begun to list the specific strains of probiotics in their products on the food
label or on their website. A small investigation on your part can ensure that
you’re receiving the positive benefits.<o:p></o:p><br />

<h3>
How to Use These Products...</h3>
Aside from yogurt and kefir being delicious by themselves, these products can easily be incorporated into other dishes.
Look for both yogurt and kefir in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, typically housed near the sour cream and/or cream cheese.</div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc">
<li>Use yogurt and/or kefir to
make a protein packed smoothie that can help rebuild muscles and keep you
full for many hours.</li>
<li>Substitute yogurt for
heavy cream or cheese in soups and sauces to get a creamy dish without all
the added fat and calories.</li>
<li>Plain yogurt can also be
used to make delicious dips and dressings, and even provide a tangy topping for a baked potato. Check out this favorite recipe: <a href="http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/creamy-avocado-yogurt-dip/">Avocado Dip from Two Peas and Their Pod.</a></li>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Enjoying a daily snack has become an everyday event for many
children (and many adults). Kids are hungry when they come home from school, and little bodies need a consistent source of nutrient-rich foods to keep them going physically and mentally all day long. What if the selected snack-food choices had the power to decrease risk for childhood
obesity? A recent study conducted by Brian Wansink's group at the Cornell Food and Brand Lab and published in the journal <i>Pediatrics, </i>divided 183
students (average age ~8.5y) into four groups - each group had a different snack choice: </div>
<ul>
<li>Group 1: potato chips</li>
<li>Group 2: vegetables </li>
<li>Group 3: cheese</li>
<li>Group 4: vegetables + cheese</li>
</ul>
After 45 minutes of snacking while watching television,
satiety levels and calories ingested were calculated for the students in each group. The results were pretty amazing. It took an average of 170 calories
for students in the vegetable + cheese group to feel full, while the
potato chip group ate an average of 620 calories before feeling satisfied. Kids in the veggie + cheese group consumed 72% fewer calories than those in the chip group AND received a nutrient-rich boost. The researchers noted,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Children who ate the combination snack ate approximately the same amount of vegetables as the children served vegetables only. This suggests that the children did not replace vegetables with cheese, but rather, they complemented their vegetable intake with a source of protein and calcium."</i> </blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaebRX5drl8PNkarPoIpdjragmr86Rug-ybLvu74HNfuPyXaufFEkwf0if7lG8bk1m-pYIgfvOlAfvLHoSDZvRe8cmv4wdFxUJOzHCkAa8FIn17cNU4zGekCuvqkOpeOhsK1NLvYtgMqFe/s1600/cheese_healthy_eating.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaebRX5drl8PNkarPoIpdjragmr86Rug-ybLvu74HNfuPyXaufFEkwf0if7lG8bk1m-pYIgfvOlAfvLHoSDZvRe8cmv4wdFxUJOzHCkAa8FIn17cNU4zGekCuvqkOpeOhsK1NLvYtgMqFe/s320/cheese_healthy_eating.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Furthermore, the results were more pronounced in overweight or obese students and those that came from low-involvement families.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why the difference? The results may be partially attributable to cheese, which naturally contains a great source of protein. Protein-rich foods are known to contribute toward feelings of satiety, so combining nutrient-rich fruits & veggies with nutrient-rich and protein packed cheese may be an ideal snack.</div>
<h4>
What Does This Mean for You?</h4>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Don’t forget that every meal counts, and that providing students with
healthier snack choices now may set them up for success in the long-term. Armed with this knowledge, health professionals can recommend and parents can help prepare healthy, satisfying, and tasty snacks for their kids. Here are some ideas:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Try pairing a low-fat cheese stick with a cup of
apples for about 145 calories.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">One ounce of fresh mozzarella cheese and a large
tomato with Italian herbs can fill you up for around 110 calories.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Carrot and celery sticks can be dipped into 1/2 cup cottage cheese for a delicious, nutritious snack at only 120 calories</span></li>
