No. Scientific reviews indicate that sugar intake does not cause hyperactivity or other behavioral problems or interfere with academic performance in children.9,10 Reports that sugar intake causes hyperactivity or other behavioral or learning problems in children have been based on anecdotal reports, not adequately controlled experiments.

No. Flavored milks contain less table sugar per 8-ounce serving than cola drinks. According to scientific research, sugar does not cause hyperactivity or mood swings in children.

Flavored milk is simply white cow's milk, with a little added flavoring and sweetener. It's available in numerous flavors, including chocolate, strawberry, banana, and root beer, from whole to fat-free varieties.

No. Many foods with added sugar will fit the nutritional criteria for the program. The GI of a food gives more useful information about the effect of the carbohydrate on blood glucose levels than the sugar content per se. The amount of sugar (naturally-occurring or added) is not a guide to the overall nutritional profile of a food. No - unpackaged fresh foods can apply to become part of the program.

The following answer is from the IFIC, International Food Information Council Foundation, 1100 Connecticut Avenue, N. W. Suite 430, Washington, DC 20036. (reference in bibliography, Part 8)] Tooth decay is the result of many factors, including heredity and the make-up and flow of saliva. Sugars and other carbohydrates such as starchy foods also play a part. Cavities occur when bacteria in dental plaque break down starches and sugars to form acids that destroy tooth enamel, dentine and /cementum.

Flavored milk is a nutrient-rich package providing the same nine essential nutrients as white milk including, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, protein, vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin B12, riboflavin and niacin (niacin equivalents). Milk's nutrients, especially calcium, are necessary for developing strong bones and teeth.

Compared to their peers, children who drink flavored milk drink more milk overall and are more likely to meet their calcium needs without consuming more total fat and calories, according to a study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.2 A nutritious alternative to other beverages, flavored milks are often acceptable to children who might not drink white milk.

Yes. Flavored milk is a favorite with kids because it tastes great and is "kid cool." When offered at school, chocolate milk is the most popular choice of milk. A study showed that milk consumption increased at school when chocolate milk was offered.

Yes, chocolate milk has an excellent nutritional profile providing significant amounts of high quality protein, calcium, riboflavin, magnesium, phosphorous, Niacin equivalents, vitamin B12, vitamin A, and when added vitamin D, as well as several essential nutrients. The only difference is that chocolate milk usually has 60 more calories because of the sucrose and other nutrient sweeteners.

Absolutely not, there are no additional sugars added. Seven+ is a dense product and there are all-natural sugars from the fruit botanicals we use. However, due to the density of the product, our per-serving sugar intake is pretty standard compared with other nutritional drinks.

No. Hormones are naturally present in many foods of plant and animal origin, including milk. Some farmers choose to supplement some of their cows with additional bST, to increase milk production, but science shows that there is no effect on hormone levels in the milk itself.

Although this theory was popularized in the 1970's, well-controlled studies conducted since then have produced no evidence that food color additives cause hyperactivity or learning disabilities in children. A Consensus Development Panel of the National Institutes of Health concluded in 1982 that there was no scientific evidence to support the claim that colorings or other food additives cause hyperactivity.

The importance of providing children milk they like, and therefore will drink, was highlighted by a School Milk Pilot Test, which demonstrated that with simple product improvements — including adding additional flavors and plastic packaging — milk sales increased 18% overall at both the elementary and secondary levels and milk consumption increased up to 37%.

NDC supports the development of flavored milk formulations that contain reduced levels of added sugar that will still appeal to children. However, rather than using sugar substitutes, sugar is considered as the first sweetener option for these flavored milk innovations.

with most everything we eat, people can enjoy sweeteners, including high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), when consumed in moderation. When it comes to flavored milk, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Dietetic Association and the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Committee agree that the added sugar in flavored milk does not negate milk's many health benefits. Specifically in regard to HFCS, there is very little difference between sucrose, which is granulated sugar, and HFSC.

Vitamin A is found within milk's naturally occurring fat particles. The process of skimming milk tends to reduce the amount of Vitamin A that is naturally present in milk. Therefore Vitamin A is added to lower-fat milk, such as skim, 1% and 2%, to match the natural levels found in whole milk.

The sweetening ability of sugar can encourage people to eat nutrient-rich foods that would otherwise probably not be consumed. Some examples are a sprinkle of sugar added to oatmeal or grapefruit or adding sugar to cranberries in the juice making process.

No, chocolate milk provides essential nutrients, calcium, protein, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, potassium and Vitamin B12. Studies show that chocolate milk does not cause hyperactivity. Studies also show that chocolate milk helps children develop strong bones and teeth. Chocolate milk provides 300 mg. of calcium, 1/3 of what the daily requirement is for children. There are 60 more calories in chocolate milk than in white, and children need calories for energy.

There is nothing added to our Pura White Milk products. If there is anything added it would have to be stated in the ingredients declaration. There are no additives, preservatives or sugar added.

The vitamin A in milk is found in the fat particles. The process of skimming milk tends to reduce the amount of vitamin A that is naturally present in milk. This is why vitamin A must be added to low-fat milks. The vitamin A added to milk is called Palmitate.

Flavored milks are nutrient-rich and provide the same nutrients and benefits as unflavored milk. According to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines, small amounts of sugars added to nutrient dense foods, such as reduced-fat milk products may increase a person's intake of such foods by enhancing palatability of these products, thus improving nutrient intake without contributing excessive calories.

No. Because flavored milk is a beverage, it is less likely to cause cavities than sticky foods. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry agrees that chocolate milk is a healthy beverage and, in fact, the calcium, phosphorus and cocoa in chocolate milk actually may protect teeth from decay. No. Chocolate milk contains a small amount of oxalic acid, a compound found in cocoa beans and other plants.

GREENS+® contains less than 1 gram of naturally occurring sugar. The sweetness you taste comes from red delicious apple fiber, bee pollen, licorice root and FOS.
