Dairy: uncap the secrets to making the most nutritious choices in dairy aisle.(Eat Smart)
milk, cheese and other dairy products are great sources of calcium. And calcium is a crucial building block of healthy bones and teeth. That's why dairy products, while providing solid nutrition for everyone, are especially important for kids. But calcium may play an important role for adults, too, by reducing the risk of hypertension, kidney stones, cardiovascular disease and colon cancer.
And dairy products furnish potassium, phosphorus, protein, riboflavin, vitamin [B.sub.12] and niacin.
how much fat does your cheese have? Be choosy about the cheese you buy. Just 1 oz. of full-fat cheese can have as many as 6 grams of saturated fat. Buying reduced-fat cheese--such as part-skim mozzarella--can cut the saturated fat in half.

Well, not exactly. But some brands of yogurt have live active cultures, known as probiotics, that can boost your immunity, help prevent yeast infections and keep your gastrointestinal tract healthy. To ensure that you're getting a healthy bite from this creamy delight, check the nutrition label. In addition to live cultures, you want an 8-ounce serving to have no more than 240 calories, 2 grams of saturated fat, 40 grams of sugar and at least 24 percent of the Daily Value for calcium.
"The benefit of yogurt," says Andrea Giancoli, a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association, "is that you get the equivalent of the Daily Value for calcium as milk and live cultures." The live cultures naturally help with the digestion of lactose, the sugar found in dairy products. "So people who are lactose intolerant more often than not can eat it," says Giancoli. If you like flavored yogurt but are trying to avoid extra calories, look for yogurts with low added sugar or that use non-caloric sweeteners such as sucralose. "Sucralose is similar in structure to the sugar molecule but the body does not recognize it and excretes it," Giancoli explains. Ergo, zero calories.
