Action Points
Increasing cow’s milk consumption was associated with decreasing serum ferritin and increasing 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
Point out that each cup consumed was linked to 6.5% higher vitamin D and 3.6% lower iron on average.
More than two cups of milk a day may cut into iron stores for many young kids, an observational study affirmed.

Interesting…I’m wondering if this study would apply here since I don’t believe they add Vitamin D to the milk here. And is the iron deficiency related to something inherent in the milk or is it due to the Vitamin D that is added in the states?
Interesting question, would like to know that as well. I know they do not push milk here like they do in the US. They serve water for lunch, not the little carton of milk again like the US.
