There is a growing interest among people to know where their food comes from and who brought it to them. Along with this growing interest come misconceptions. National Dairy Council and its dairy farmers are taking a holistic and transparent approach to address myths through The Udder Truth video series. These videos show dairy farmers answering questions about farm size, antibiotics and cow care. This series is a way to show the public that the majority of farmers are doing the right thing to provide nutritious, safe milk for people to enjoy. While dairy farming is a business, it's not just about the bottom line — farmers care about their cows, their land, employees, neighbors, the community and the milk and milk products they make possible to help nourish us all. Share this series with your students and clients to help answer questions they may have about the dairy industry. See all three videos HERE.

Phosphates artificially added to dairy and cereal products appear to cause bigger spikes in blood phosphorus levels than naturally occurring phosphates, potentially putting harmful stress on kidneys. Too much dietary phosphate stiffens blood vessels, enlarges the heart and is bad for bones, but a new study suggests it matters where the phosphates come from.
