Caution, Make Children Fat Chocolate Milk

Choosing chocolate milk as an additional source of nutrients for children are many old people do that it tastes more delicious and tasty. But the election should be considered more chocolate milk, because milk flavored potentially lead to obesity in children.

In the United States, one of the school nutrition services director even called for a chocolate milk removed from the school canteen menu. The reason, milk chocolate is higher in calories than plain milk that tastes fresh.

"If the kids choose chocolate milk instead of white milk all year, their weight will grow 2.5 to 3 pounds (1-1.5 pounds) and within 10 years, the weight can be 25 to 30 pounds," said Ann Cooper while attending a meeting with officials in Washington to discuss the quality of school meals.

"We're facing a crisis of obesity in this country," said Cooper, who has served as Director of Nutrition Services for the school in Boulder, Colorado, where he has taken away the milk chocolate and other flavored milk with organic milk and replace it with pure cold.

Most milk chocolate contains more than 50 percent of calories compared with white milk, and sugar which is equal to one ounce of soda. "Milk chocolate and soda just as bad," said Cooper.
  
Serving eight ounces of liquid (240 milliliters) low-fat Nesquik chocolate milk contains 200 calories and 30 grams of sugar - or more than the contents of cans 12 ounces (350 milliliters) of Coca Cola, which contains 27 grams of sugar and 140 calories.

Of course, the milk with flavor variations contain nutrients not found in soda. But whole milk contains the same nutritional value with fewer calories and sugar content is only a third of the milk with flavor varies.

At a conference on obesity earlier this year, Thomas Frieden, the leader of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said about half of the extra 250 calories consumed by the average American today - compared with 25 last year - comes from beverages and foods containing sugar.

Dairy industry can not remain silent with efforts to get rid of flavored milk from the school. They tried to reply to activists who contra-flavored milk with the action via the Internet, called "Raise your hand to make milk chocolate."

"Some schools and activist groups are trying to eliminate low-fat chocolate milk from the cafeteria, but this will actually contain more harm than benefit," said the National Dairy Council in networking pro-milk-flavored, which showed very many text boxes brown.
