Almost daily, I see a steady stream of staggering statistics on consumer health and the ongoing battle against obesity, heart disease and diabetes. The food and beverage industry is constantly being challenged to improve and innovate new products to meet new nutritional guidelines and consumer demands. The dairy industry is in an enviable position to meet these changing demands. Through our work at the Dairy Research Institute®, established under the leadership of America’s dairy farmers through the dairy checkoff program, we are proud of the great strides research has made in demonstrating the role of dairy foods in helping reduce the risk of chronic diseases. With a growing body of science as support, I believe it is clear that dairy is not part of the problem, and may be part of the solution to improved nutrition and health, with a decreased risk for many diseases.
