Milk products are good sources of protein. However, unlike legumes and like meat and altematives, some milk products are high in saturated fat. For this reason, choose low-fat milk products for heart health.
Most milk products are excellent sources of calcium, a nutrient important for the development and maintenance of strong hones and teeth at all ages. Fortified milk is also a good source of vitamins A and D. Choices include:
VERY LOW-FAT
buttermilk, made from skim milk
evaporated low-fat milk, undiluted
nonfat dry milk, undiluted
skim milk
yogurt, plain (made with nonfat milk)
MODERATELY LOW-FAT
buttermilk, made from whole milk
low-fat milk, 1%
yogurt, plain (made with low-fat milk)
Note: Buttermilk can be a significant source of sodium. Limit your intake of this or select no-salt-added buttermilk. If you are unable to locate it, check with your grocery store manager.
