Whole Milk Is Popular Again, But Is It Right For You? We Asked Dietitians

In the 1990s, Got Milk? ads became popular because of a marketing campaign created by the California Milk Processor Board, encouraging people to drink more cow's milk through celebrity-packed ads and commercials. It was successful for a time, but eventually the interest dwindled and soon after plant-based milks started to gain popularity. Since the 2000s, we've seen every version of plant-based milks you can imagine, ranging from soy, oat, almond, pistachio, macadamia, pea -- you name it, and it probably exists in your supermarket aisle. Now it appears that whole milk is gaining popularity again with wellness influencers and others. I spoke to dietitians to better understand why this is happening, what benefits whole milk has and who should be cautious about drinking it. Why dairy is having a moment again A few factors could be contributing to whole milk regaining popularity: the concept that "natural" is better, people wanting fewer additives in their food and the current Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" initiative. Clara Nosek, a non-diet registered dietitian, points out that cow's milk became less popular in the first place because it was disparaged by popular culture, blamed for any stomach issues and called inflammatory for a long time. "The shift back to dairy seems partly driven by rampant chemophobia," says Nosek, elaborating, "Many of those plant-based milks contained ingredients like gums and preservatives for stability and added sugars for palatability, which are also demonized." Chemphobia relates to being fearful of chemicals found in everyday life. Still, there is often a misunderstanding of how chemicals function and the importance of knowing their dosages, among other things. Chemphobia, along with the appeal-to-nature fallacy (the idea that something "natural" is better), makes cow's milk look more enticing because it has fewer ingredients compared to non-dairy milk. "Cow's milk started to look like the more 'pure' option and the appeal-to-nature logic pushed even further down the chemophobia spectrum, as seen in the growing popularity of raw cow's milk," Nosek explains. Raw milk is unpasteurized cow's milk, and interest in it has also risen thanks to a push by some wellness influencers and even the secretary of health and human services. Health officials have spoken out about the dangers of drinking raw milk and its risk of foodborne illnesses, especially after this past year when raw milk was recalled due to bird flu. Benefits of drinking whole milk Whether you drink cow's milk or not, there's no denying that milk has plenty of benefits. Whole milk, in particular, can provide you with lots of nutrients. Lauren Manaker, a registered dietitian and nutritionist, says, "It's a natural source of high-quality protein, calcium and it provides essential vitamins like B12 and D, which are hard to replicate in the same way with plant-based alternatives." Additionally, whole milk consists of fat, carbs and other micronutrients like potassium, B vitamins and vitamin A. "No one needs to drink whole milk, and the nutrients are easily available in other foods; however, it is an easy and affordable way to get those nutrients," explains Nosek. Other factors that may make whole milk more appealing are its flavor and taste, since it's creamier, and the higher fat content makes it taste richer compared to plant-based milks. Manaker points out that one eight-ounce glass of whole milk contains 16% of your daily recommended value of protein. "A growing body of research also suggests that whole-fat dairy is not associated with increased risk for obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular disease; in fact, this type of dairy may even help reduce the risk for these chronic diseases," she says. A downside to whole milk The downside to this is that the added fat and sugar in each serving can add up, and adults have to be more mindful of it if they're watching their saturated fat and carbohydrate intake. "I would recommend discussing the volume consumed with a dietitian to ensure meal and snack balance," advises Nosek. Parents who give their children cow's milk should follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. For example, children ages 12 to 23 months get 1⅔ to 2 cups equivalents of dairy daily, while children two years and up should get two to three cups daily. You may also want to consider how these different milks impact the environment. What about other forms of cow's milk? Other forms of cow's milk include 1% milk, skim and fat-free milk. The only difference between these milks and whole milk is the fat content. "When the fat is removed from milk, the fat-soluble vitamins (A and D) availability is lowered, but they're usually added back by way of fortification," explains Nosek. Manaker adds that you still get the same 13 essential nutrients, like high-quality protein, calcium, vitamin D and B12 and iodine, with these milks. "The fat in whole milk does contribute to its creamier texture and slightly higher calorie count, but when it comes to the vitamins and minerals, you're not missing out by choosing a lower-fat option," Manaker says. What if your stomach can't handle dairy? Realistically, not everyone can handle cow's milk. If you're lactose intolerant or have a milk allergy, chances are you opt for a dairy-free milk instead. Keep in mind that there are certain nutrients you may be missing out on with plant-based options. "Real milk is a complete protein, whereas most plant-based proteins are incomplete, meaning they are missing some of the essential amino acids, or building blocks, our bodies need," explains Manaker. She also points out that the protein in dairy, known as whey and casein, keeps you feeling fuller longer while providing energy to fuel your day, and helps with muscle recovery-even while you sleep. If you're not a fan of plant-based milks, but still want to get the benefits of cow's milk without the upset stomach, Nosek recommends trying out lactose-free options. Some brands that make lactose-free milks include: Fairlife, Lactaid, Horizon Organic and Organic Valley. Keep in mind, lactose-free options are best for those with lactose intolerance (the inability to digest lactose, the natural sugar in milk) and are not suitable for those with milk allergies (an immune reaction to the proteins in milk) because they still have milk proteins. If you're allergic to cow's milk, it's best to stick to plant-based milk options instead. "While supplements can help fill some gaps, like calcium, vitamin D and B12, it's always better to get nutrients from whole foods whenever possible," explains Manaker. She recommends adding allergy-friendly protein options like eggs, meat, fish or plant-based sources like beans and lentils to your diet, and for iodine, seafood or iodized salt. Takeaway The sudden popularity surrounding dairy shows that people are starting to show more interest in food options without additives. While this isn't inherently a bad thing, it's important to remember that cow's milk may not be the right fit for everyone based on dietary restrictions. But if you're interested in adding cow's milk into your diet (and dairy agrees with you), you can reap the benefits of the many vitamins and nutrients it provides. If you're allergic to milk, you may not have the option to drink cow's milk, but you can still try your best to get the same nutrients through other foods in your diet. If you'e planning on making changes to your diet or aren't sure if adding cow's milk is right for you, it's best to consult with a registered dietitian or your doctor first.

Watch the moment Celebrity Catchphrase star misses out on whopping £25k prize – but would you have known it?

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment a Celebrity Catchphrase star missed out on a whopping £25,000 prize - but would you have known it? The hit ITV show has always lead with the 'say what you say' mantra, but as members of the public - and more recently celebrities - have found out, it isn't as easy as it sounds. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Luke Kempner missed out on £25k on a recent episode of Celebrity Catchphrase 4 Luke had been flying through the catchphrases before he got stuck on this one 4 It showed Mr Chips working out next to an apple core During the latest series of the show - hosted by Stephen Mulhern - impressionist and comedian Luke Kempner made it all the way to the Super Catchphrase. After whizzing through the first couple of catchphrases, Luke took on the starred number 11, in the hope of doubling the money of his co-stars Charlie Hedges and Jeremy Vine. He secured that relatively easily as well, but things unravelled when he got to the £25,000 catchphrase. The scene revealed Mr Chips doing sit ups next to an apple core with muscular arms lifting weights. Luke guessed 'working on his guns' before struggling to think of anything else. He said pass and moved onto the only other option on that level, but he sadly ran out of time when he was unable to get that one right too. It meant he left the show with a respectable £10,000 for his charity, as well as doubling Charlie and Jeremy's earnings from earlier in the show for their respective charities. It was then Stephen's job to reveal what the missing catchphrases had been. He explained that the gym scene was actually "core strength" as it was an apple core working out. Did you get it right? Watch the moment Stephen Mulhern is left red-faced as he makes HUGE blunder on Catchphrase puzzle The final clip that he missed was "under study", which Luke was kicking himself about. Earlier in the episode, Stephen was left red-faced after giving away an answer. As the clip showed a man going into a coffee shop with rapidly increasing price tags until they burst through the ceiling, Stephen declared: "Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!" The contestants then stood in silence for a second as an embarrassed Stephen clocked what he had said. Stephen Mulhern's career so far The presenter is a mainstay on various ITV shows, but how did he become one of Britain's most well-known faces? Stephen first gained an interest in magic and tricks from his father who taught him as a kid. After performing at Butlins, he became the youngest member of the Magic Circle and even made an appearance on Blue Peter in a piece about Harry Houdini. His career started in Children's TV when he presenter the show Finger Tips in 2001. After four years, he launched Tricky TV on CITV in 2005, which he presented until 2010. During this time, he was handpicked by bosses to front the ITV2 spin-off for Britain's Got Talent. He presented Britain's Got More Talent until the cancelation of the companion in 2019. But it's not all bad news for Stephen who is known for his duties on a number of quiz shows. In for a Penny, a format originally launched on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway was launched the same year. Before, he was chosen by bosses to host Catchphrase in 2013 and has been fronting the show ever since. Other huge shows he presented for ITV included Big Star's Little Star, Rolling In It and the reboot of Deal Or No Deal. He also made regular appearances on This Morning in 'The Hub' segment between 2011 and 2014. After the Philip Schofield scandal rocked ITV, he was chosen to reunite with his former CITV co-star Holly Willoughby as the host of Dancing on Ice. Jeremy eventually broke the silence, pressing his buzzer and asking: "Sorry, what? Was that the answer?" Stephen then embarrassingly nodded and burst into fits of laughter alongside the cast and studio audience. "I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!" he admitted. 4 He also failed to get a catchphrase illustrating 'under study' meaning he left with a respectable £10k Celebrity Catchphrase is available on ITVX.

‘We've got your back': WASHS students focus on suicide prevention

Waynesboro Area Senior High School students recently got a 'brain break' while learning about mental health and suicide prevention. The WASHS Aevidum Club hosted its third Aevidum Strides Against Stigma on May 8. Coming up on May 24: 'Tangled' is the theme of Waynesboro Area Senior High School prom Aevidum is Latin for 'I've got your back,' according to Amanda Eddy, a WASHS counselor and club adviser. The Waynesboro club is part of a national organization which, according to its website, 'empowers youth to shatter the silence surrounding depression, suicide and other issues facing teens … Aevidum inspires schools and communities to adopt cultures of care and advocacy, encouraging all members to have their friends' backs.' The club was formed at WASHS after several students committed suicide and 'we knew something had to change,' Eddy said. The club grew out of the idea that students are often more likely to talk to each other rather than adults. The club is 'focused on shattering the stigma and shedding light on mental health awareness,' Eddy said. 'Suicide prevention is our overall goal.' Brianna Nickel, now a senior and Aevidum treasurer, helped start the club. She remembers thinking, 'What can we do to make sure this does not happen again?' She was one of the club members wearing yellow T-shirts that said 'We've Got Your Back' at the Aevidum Strides Against Stigma. They handed out cards with stress release tips as the school year comes to an end with lots of testing. Club members also shared mental health facts as 'commercial breaks' while their fellow students took Strides Against Stigma on the track, where signs like this were displayed on the fence: 'You are loved. You are worthy. You are enough.' 'One step at a time. You can make it through. Progress, not perfection.' 'It's never too late to start prioritizing your mental health.' The 'brain break' included fun components like face-painting, bracelet making, games and the popular 'Dunk the Teacher.'
