Milk is important for children’s bone health; however, a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, says children may not be drinking enough law-fat milk. Researchers determined that older children and teens drink low-fat milk more often than younger children.

The report, “Low-fat Milk Consumption Among Children and Adolescents in the United States, 2007-2008,” shows only 13 percent of children aged two to five usually drink low-fat milk, compared to 21 percent of children aged six to 11 and 23 percent of teens aged 12 to 19 that drink low-fat milk, USA Today reported.
