Milk. Whether you love it or hate it, it is an important drink full of nutrients that are essential for a healthy balanced diet. Cow's milk contains 285 mg of calcium, which represents 22% to 29% of the daily recommended intake of calcium for an adult. Milk is inexpensive to drink, can be drunk hot or cold and can be used extensively in cooking or making desserts.

Milk can be used in all different things such as, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and cereal. It is an essential on most people’s shopping lists each week as it can be used in a variety of different ways. It is a main ingredient of food items such as cheese, eggs and of course milk. It can be bought from a wide variety of shops, such as Wilkinsons, Iceland and even B&M. The most popular type of processed milk is pasteurized. This is the safest form of milk as it is heated up in order to kill all the harmful bacteria. Following milk being pasteurized it is then standardized in order to lower fat content levels and homogenized, which is to break down the fat globules and spread them through the milk.

There is also many different types of milk such as whole, semi skimmed, 1% fat and skimmed to name but a few. According to our research we founded that people prefer to drink semi skimmed milk. Semi skimmed milk contains a meagre 1.7% fat. It retains a rich creamy flavoured and this type of milk is suitable for all apart from children under 2 years old. Semi skimmed is often recommended by doctors for those who suffer from diabetes or certain types of allergies.

Throughout the world, there are more than 6 billion consumers of milk and milk products. . It was reported in 2007 that with increased worldwide prosperity and the competition of bio-fuel production, both the demand for and the price of milk had substantially increased worldwide. Now farmers could earn a minimum of 22p per litre of milk, which is below the break-even point for many cattle farmers. According to the news paper ‘THE WEEK’ thousands of dairy farmers from several EU countries descended on Brussels for demonstrations over falling milk prices. Many people choose to simply buy their milk from shops such as Asda or Tesco’s, but there is still a large amount of people who buy their milk from milkmen who deliver to their door. We spoke to the manager of Dairy Crest Depot in Saughall Massie to hear his views on door to door sales.

Bone growth is greatest in childhood and teenage years when there are growth spurts. As milk contains calcium, which helps make strong teeth and bones, it is vital that it is included in children’s and adolescent’s diets. That is why schools offer milk to students who buy school dinners.

In almost all mammals, milk is fed to infants through breastfeeding, either directly or by expressing the milk to be stored and consumed later. However some mothers find it difficult to produce milk for their children, whether they are ill or their baby needs more than they can provide. Fortunately, there is an alternative. It is a use of human breast milk from other sources and this can be provided from Milk banks all over the world, 17 of them being situated in the UK.

Enjoying healthy food and drink is beneficial for humans, however there many everyday food phobias, One of these phobias being lacto phobia.
