21 minerals
& 13 vitamins
An 8oz glass of
milk has 21 minerals, 13 vitamins and provides 13 essential nutrients!
Whole milk is 2
ingredients. Real whole milk has a clean and simple label just 2 ingredients:
milk and supplemental vitamin D.
All milk is
free of antibiotics, no matter if the label states that or not. Test samples
are collected on all milk before leaving the farm. All milk is tested at the
plant before it is used. So, whether you choose regular or organic, you can
feel good that milk is among the safest, most nutritious foods on the planet.
8 Ounces of
milk contains 8 grams of protein- That's 16% of the daily recommended value!
Real Milk protein is a complete protein because it contains all 9 essential
amino acid building blocks needed by the human body. This high-quality protein
builds and repairs muscle, keeps us fuller longer, provides energy and focus,
helps maintain bone health and a healthy weight, while supporting a healthy
immune system. Real Milk protein is readily absorbed and hard to replace.
95% of dairies
are family owned. Help support your local dairies by drinking milk!
Did you know
local milk is available at your local grocery store? You are supporting local
dairy farmers by purchasing your milk anywhere! The biggest thing you can do is
to drink whole milk! If you are interested in learning where your milk came
from check the plant code stamp on the top of the bottle by the expiration
date, or on the label, and plug the number into www.WheresMyMilkFrom.com to see
where the milk was bottled.
The dairy
sector, alone, has reduced its carbon footprint by two-thirds between 1945 and
today.
In as little as
2 days, milk travels from the farm to your grocery store. Milk is one of the
original farm-to-table foods and it’s one of the freshest products you can find
at your local grocery store.
Hormones are
never added to milk! Hormones are naturally occurring in all living things, so
yes milk contains hormones. But there is a difference, hormones are never added
to milk. Whole Milk is one of the simplest foods you can buy. Nothing added
except for vitamin D.
There is no
sugar added to milk! Milk contains zero added sugars and only 12 grams of
natural sugar (lactose).
Cows have a
nutritionist! Dairy farmers rely on professional consultants to formulate their
cows’ diets. These consultants routinely visit the farm to help answer any
questions, sample feeds and ensure cows are healthy and receiving a proper
diet. Computer software helps a consultant balance a cow’s diet to ensure she
is receiving all the nutrients she needs to be healthy and produce healthy
milk.
Chocolate milk
is a nearly perfect workout recovery drink. Compared to water and most sports
drinks, it has double the carbohydrate and protein content – the perfect
combination to replenish tired muscles after a workout. Its high-water content
replaces fluids lost as sweat and prevents dehydration. Plus, it packs a
nutritional bonus of calcium and includes just a little sodium and sugar —
which help recovering-athletes retain water and regain energy.
Many people
with digestive sensitivity find that switching from fat free/low-fat(1%) to
whole milk(3.25% fat) allows them to enjoy milk again because the 8 grams of
healthy fat in a glass of whole milk slows the rate at which the body absorbs
the lactose, and there is a bit less lactose per volume. Another option is to
look for niche brands of non-homogenized cream-top or cream-line milk.
The protein,
vitamin D, and other essential nutrients in whole milk support the immune
system.
Besides
hydrating water and a healthy matrix of fat, protein and carbohydrate, Whole
Milk contains essential nutrients shown below:

development of the brain and many other parts of the body.
POTASSIUM (10%)
- Help in controlling blood pressure and is important for the nervous system.
An average
dairy cow produces 7 to 9 gallons of milk a day. That’s about 128 glasses of
great-tasting nutrition.
A study found
children who drank whole milk had 40% lower risks of being overweight or obese
compared with children who consumed reduced-fat milk.
Dairy foods
have a specific role to play in dental health. Research has shown that milk and
cheese can help prevent tooth decay. Milk, cheese and yogurt contain minerals
such as calcium, casein and phosphorus that help protect tooth enamel.
Whole Milk has
immune boosting benefits, vitamins, electrolytes, antioxidants. Research shows
a good daily dose of Vit. D, for example, keeps colds at bay! We get Vit. D
when the sun interacts with our skin, but this key vitamin is also found in
fortified foods like cereal, orange juice -- and especially MILK.
Evidence based
conclusion on milk and inflammation
ZERO transfats
Whole milk
contains a complex mix of saturated, monounsaturated & polyunsaturated
fats, including omega 3 and 6. There are ZERO transfats. Studies show the fats
in Real Whole Milk offer benefits: converting to energy, not fat; aiding
vitamin absorption; contributing to brain development; positive for mood and
alertness; and providing flavor and fullness to curb sugar cravings. Impact on
cardiovascular disease is also being debated in a review of the research.
The first 3
digest food in ways we can't, enabling cows to convert grassy plants we can't
eat into nutrient-dense, delicious milk! The plants pull carbon dioxide from
the air and store it in the soil through their roots. The cows eat the plants,
grazed or harvested, and their unique digestion more than doubles the protein
and nutrient value that we get to enjoy in the milk! Amazing. Natural.
Efficient.
Scientific
evidence supports the role of calcium and vitamin D for good bone health; Dairy
foods are excellent sources of calcium and protein. Dairy products, including
milk, are an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, protein and other
nutrients that are important both for bone and overall health.
Pasteurization
is a simple, effective method to kill potentially harmful bacteria without
affecting the taste or nutritional value of milk. With standard pasteurization,
milk is heated to a temperature of at least 161-degree Fahrenheit for not less
than 15 seconds, followed by rapid cooling.
Homogenization
keeps milk textures consistent by mixing the milk, so cream won’t separate and
rise.
Cows emit
methane that is short-lived, only 12 years, not 100 or 1000 years like other
GHG, so a cow makes more milk/beef today but adds ZERO NEW methane to the
atmosphere, while feeding more people at the same time.
Cows emit
methane that is continually recycled as part of the vital Biogenic Carbon Cycle
of atmosphere X sunshine converted by plants (photosynthesis), consumed and
converted by ruminant animals --- keeping our planet alive and nourishing us
too.
Cows are
ruminants. They ferment their food in a chamber called the rumen, which
converts fibrous plants we humans can't digest into nutrient dense protein,
fat, carbohydrate and over a dozen vitamins and minerals we humans can readily
absorb.
Cows consume
grasses and whole-plant-forages growing on 70% of the earth’s agricultural land
surface not suited to grow fruits, vegetables and most grains for human
consumption. As they are grazed and/or harvested for cow-chow, these plants
regenerate and continue the Biogenic Carbon Cycle.
Milk is
considered a complete food because of its rich content of protein, fat,
carbohydrates, all known vitamins and various minerals essential for sustaining
life and maintains good health.
Milk is an
excellent source of potassium. The minerals found in milk helps regulate your
body’s fluid levels, aids in muscular function and waste removal, and keeps
your nervous system functioning properly. Research shows that potassium reduces
blood pressure in people with hypertension and may lower risk of stroke.
Milk has 8
grams of high quality complete protein, containing all 9 amino acid building
blocks. No alternative has as much or as high quality protein as real milk.
An 8 ounce
glass contains 21 minerals and 13 vitamins.
It’s natural. A
true farm to table product, containing 2 ingredients: Milk, Vitamin D.
Milk contains
zero added sugar.
Whole milk has
essential nutrients to support the immune system.
Milk is a
naturally-occurring calcium source that provides almost 30% of daily
requirements and is easily absorbed by the body.
Studies show
children who drank whole milk had a 40 percent lower chance of being overweight
or obese compared with those who drank low-fat milk.
Because of
dairy foods’ nutritional package, it’s a one-stop shop to help people sustain
their energy.
The dairy fat
is a healthy combination of a saturated, monosaturated and polyunsaturated
fats, including CLAs and Omegas.
Milk contains
calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus and potassium to build and maintain strong
bones, which can help reduce the risk for stress fractures.
