Dairy Products Nutrition facts

Milk and its products, such as Yogurt, and cheese constitute major dairy products. They are considered to be the main dietary source of calcium, which is an essential element for good health and bone and teeth density, particularly in children. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the daily recommended calcium intake is 500 to 1300 milligrams for children, 1000 milligrams for adults, and 1200 milligrams for older people. These amounts could be obtained with approximately one serving of dairy product per meal.
