DairyDelivers: Food for Thought Print Email Friend  

The 2010 Dietary Guidelines Recommends that Americans 9 and older include 3 servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy foods in their diet each day. On average, Americans ages 2 and older consume only 2 servings of dairy a day. By adding 1 more serving of milk, cheese or yogurt, Americans can help close the calcium gap and meet their needs for this and other key nutrients.
