Why is the American Dietetic Association (ADA) participating in the 3-A-Day of Dairy campaign?
The American Dietetic Association supports the 3-A-Day of Dairy for Stronger Bones campaign and believes the campaign can help Americans establish healthier eating habits. The American Dietetic Association believes eating three servings of low-fat or fat-free milk, cheese, or yogurt, is an easy way for Americans to get the recommended amounts of calcium and other essential nutrients they need. The American Dietetic Association wants people also to be aware of non-dairy sources of calcium, including broccoli and fortified beverages, even though they may not be as efficient a source as dairy products.
