What nutrients are in Milk?
First, remember that milk is 87 percent water. The other 13 percent is solids.
Protein accounts for 3.2 percent of the solids in whole milk. Depending on what we choose to purchase, milk fat may compose nearly zero percent (non-fat or skim milk) and the other fat levels include 1, 2 and 3 percent.
Calcium is an essential element for both growth and good health. Milk is an excellent source of calcium. Food labels can tell us how much calcium is in one serving of food. Look at the % Daily Value (DV) next to the Calcium number on the food label.
One cup (eight ounces) of milk provides 25 percent of the Daily Value of Calcium for an adult.
For good health, consume at least three servings of milk or milk products daily.
