Cow’s Milk – There
is NO Comparison
Whether it is whole or fat-free, lactose-free,
flavored or organic, the fact is, cow’s milk remains
the gold standard of beverages for health,
nutrition and affordability.
Cow’s milk delivers an unwavering package of
nine essential nutrients in the American diet. It is
the No. 1 source of these nutrients for children
— including calcium, vitamin D and potassium,
nutrients in the Scientific Report of the 2015
Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee found to
be under-consumed.
Comparing the ingredient list of cow’s milk to
plant-based beverage alternatives, cow’s milk
is simply low-fat milk fortified
with vitamin A and vitamin D.
Calcium is found naturally
in cow’s milk. Plant-based
alternatives rely heavily on
several added ingredients
and fortification to produce
the beverage and enhance
overall nutritional value, some
falling short on potassium.
In addition to being a top source of calcium and
nine essential nutrients, every 8-ounce serving
of low-fat milk boasts 8 grams of high-quality
protein. Cow’s milk tastes great, and it is a very
affordable way to consume natural nutrition
important for good health.
