Abstract: The materials used in building the human body must be chosen with care so that good health and long life are possible. Research in the study of nutrition has shown that certain food nutrients are essential in promoting physical fitness. When taken into the body in adequate amounts, these nutrients, together with good habits of health and hygiene, promote growth and sound physical development. As the study of nutrition continues, the value of milk in the diet becomes more apparent. Everyone needs milk every day in order to receive the essential food nutrients their bodies require daily. Millions of Americans are crumbling on the inside while showng no outward sign. The fault lies with a “hidden hunger” for calcium–a hunger that could easily be met and overcome by proper diet. Milk is the best source of calcium in our food supply. It is almost impossible to supply the amounts of calcium recommended unless milk in some form is used daily and cheese and other milk containing products are eaten frequently. Calcium is just one of many nutrients found in milk. Altogether, at least 100 chemical components have been identified. Milk's value as a whole is greater than just the sum of its known components. Milk gives more food for the money than any other food material available. A quart of milk weights 2.15 pounds. It is a package of nutrients, safety, convenience, flavor, and economy. A true daily investment in health.
