Dairy Healthy Eating in 2010!
There’s a reason why nutritionists tell us that when grocery shopping, your healthiest picks are often located around the perimeter of the store. That’s where you’ll find the freshest produce, meat and poultry, and of course, dairy products!
Men’s Health and Yahoo! recently listed full-fat cheese and milk as two of the Top Weight Loss Foods for 2010. It’s no wonder, considering dairy products are high in protein and calcium; ensure healthy, strong bones; and provide other essential nutrients like potassium and vitamin D. The Washington State Dairy Council outlines just how many benefits there are in a single serving of milk in this PDF.
These health benefits can be achieved in multiple forms, including cheese, butter, condensed milk, ice cream, milk powder and flavored milk. So many delicious ways to make your 2010 diet a healthy one!

Some great information you got here, thanks!
what cheeses are made from hormone free, anibiotic free milk
Hi Caroline,
Good question! Milk is one of the most thoroughly tested, closely monitored and tightly regulated foods available, especially in Washington State, which has some of the most stringent regulations in the country. All milk in Washington is continually tested for purity – before it leaves the farm, when it is loaded into the tanker truck, and when it arrives at the processing plant.
Washington dairy farmers often go above and beyond these already high standards in their milk production. As a result, all the dairy products from Washington farmers, including cheese, are hormone- and antibiotic-free.
We encourage you to visit “Product Safety” on http://www.wadairy.com to learn more about what measures Washington dairy farmers are taking to ensure they produce some of the world’s best milk.
