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.
