Opportunities for the Dairy Industry in Nutritional Research¹

ABSTRACT

Introduction

It is a privilege to consider with you the importance of the National Dairy Council program of support of research and the opportunities for the dairy industry in nutrition research.

I am sometimes asked why it is necessary continuously to pursue nutritional research? Or why do we not merely apply all the knowledge we now have? The implication of such questions is that we might call a moratorium on further research and address our efforts to application.

Such questions stem from a lack of understanding of the dimensions of nutrition and nutritional science in the 1970's. Changes and developments constantly occur through application of science and technology and must be considered on every hand — yes, even in relation to the unique food, milk. Milk is, indeed, a unique food in that it is the one food produced by the mammalian organism specifically to nourish its young in the early days of life.
