日食300克乳制品离我们有多远？
新版膳食指南提高乳品每日推荐摄入量 很多国家向来重视和关注乳制品的消费。2005年美国农业部修改了美国膳食指南，将每日乳制品的推荐消费量从每天两份增加到了每天三份。为了让消费者了解乳制品的重要性并推广美国农业部膳食指南，乳品管理公司（Dairy
Management
Inc.™）在全国推行了“3-A-Day”，也就是每日三份乳制品活动，三份乳制品包括牛奶、酸奶和奶酪，它们分别相当于237毫升牛奶、227克酸奶和42
克天然硬质奶酪。这一活动基于美国膳食指南，目的在于让消费者了解通过摄入乳制品可以提高膳食的整体营养价值，从而获得健康益处。每日三份乳制品活动旨在帮助建立积极的饮食行为，特别是针对儿童和青少年。有人说，美国人几乎把牛奶当水喝，尽管说法略显夸张，但毋庸置疑的是，即便是人均乳制品消费量相当高的发达国家也仍在致力于普及和提高乳制品的摄入。我国人均乳制品每日消费量和发达国家和发展中国家的平均水平相比，差距由来已久，并且是相去甚远！大幅度提高乳制品摄入量势在必行，任重而道远！ Read More

USDEC Receives Health Initiative Award
美国乳品出口协会获得健康创意奖
在今年3月11-13日于希腊雅典举行的全球乳业大会上，美国乳品出口协会（USDEC）因其在乳品营养在艾滋病治疗领域所作的贡献被授予‘特别推荐’奖，该奖项由《乳品创新》杂志设立，用来表彰乳品行业的最佳创新。
美国乳品出口协会（USDEC）在2007年启动了一个名为“概念证实”的项目，寻找相关的科学依据，以证明高品质的蛋白质，如乳蛋白对艾滋病患者和病毒携带者具有出色的健康益处，能够帮助他们重建肌肉组织并保持较高的机体活动水平。该项目得到了乳品管理公司（Dairy Management Inc.TM）的一项特别基金的支持，作为其以乳清蛋白为核心的营养市场拓展计划的一部分，这些营养市场活动旨在应用坚实有力的科学证据来宣传乳清的优异营养益处并扩大乳制品的销售。
“乳品行业需要在前期具有竞争性的营养研究领域以及市场开拓方面采取积极主动”，美国乳品出口协会战略研究和产业开发副总裁Veronique Lagrange说，“美国乳品出口协会（USDEC）非常适合这一角色，我们可以发挥乳品研究催化剂的作用，从奶农和加工企业筹措到资金，并保证相关的研究结果能及时有效地传递给消费者或生产者，无论后者是跨国公司还是私有的志愿组织。”

Demystifying the Health Benefits of
Cheese
Finding great-tasting, nutrient-rich
foods can be a challenge for consumers trying to follow healthier diets.
However, taste and nutrition need not be mutually exclusive. Consumers need to
look no further than the cheese case in their local supermarket to find
rich-tasting, flavorful options that offer functional benefits and support
healthy eating plans.

Formulating Beverages
with Whey Protein Ingredients
New beverage
introductions in the U.S. have continued to increase in recent years with a
total of 3,231 in 2007, the greatest number of new product introductions in any
food category. Some of the product areas with the highest growth were in the sports and
meal replacement categories, which place a greater emphasis on nutrition. More
beverage companies are focusing their attention on adding nutrition to their new
products. The introduction of product labeling, which highlights dietary
guidelines or specific nutrient goals of a company-wide dietary program, means
that these foods are typically lower in sugar, fat and calories. Often companies
are looking to dairy ingredients to add nutritional value to their products and
much of the interest is focused on protein. Beverage companies are turning more
often to whey proteins for their unique functionality and excellent nutritional
properties.

Dairy
Products for Infant Nutrition
Newborns and infants
have unique and critical nutritional requirements. In order to meet those
requirements the World Health Organization (WHO) exclusively recommends
breast-feeding as the sole nutrition source for the first six months of life.
Human milk is the perfect food for infants and it’s a well-known and accepted
fact that breast-feeding reduces infant mortality and has benefits extending far
into adulthood. Breast-feeding is recommended for children up to 2 or more years
of age with the addition of complimentary food sources after 6
months.
