Transcript: Chapter 9 -- The Goodness of Milk

Young girl: Why is milk so good for us?

Voice-over: Milk contains 15 essential nutrients including calcium, Vitamin D and phosphorous for strong bones and teeth ... protein to build strong muscles ... riboflavin for energy ... Vitamin B12 for healthy blood and a healthy nervous system ... vitamin A to help prevent diseases like cancer ... and thiamin for healthy brain development.

Canada's Food Guide states that if you are between the ages of four and nine, you should have two or three servings of milk products every day.

If you're between ten and sixteen years old, you should have three to four servings every day.

And Canada's Food Guide recommends two to four daily servings of milk products for adults.

And so there you have it -- the miracle of milk.

The next time you enjoy a healthy glass of milk, some delicious ice cream, some butter, cheese and yogurt, think of the dairy cows, the dairy farmers, the transporters, and the dairies that supply us with these delicious, wholesome products every day.
