ABSTRACT

Problems related to nutrition and health beset the dairy industry because milk and other dairy foods or component parts of milk and other dairy foods have been:

Implicated as contributing factors in development of diseases or as undesirable in treatment of such diseases as: allergies, arthritis, atherosclerosis, cancer, cataracts, coronary heart disease, dental caries, galactosemia, hypo- and hyper-calcemia, hypoproteinemia, kidney stones, milk-alkali syndrome associated with treatment of ulcers, leg cramps in pregnancy, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, and overweight;

Challenged because of unintentional additives or adulterants which inadvertently may get in milk: strontium⁹⁰, penicillin, pesticide residues, and cancer-producing hydrocarbons in wax and coal tar dyes;

Kept on the defensive for lack of basic nutrition information regarding: human requirements for fat, fatty acids, protein, amino acids, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium; hazards of component parts of milk and of unintentional additives in levels found; and specific effects of milk on athletic performance, growth, industrial performance, specific pathologies, etc.;

Put further on the defensive by: information published for consumers but originating with authoritative individuals, promoters of competitive products, or food faddists.
