Adult Enteral Nutrition Guidelines: Fill & Download for Free

Dairy is good for you. Milk is nutrient-dense providing a high level of essential nutrients compared to its calories. Milk contains calcium,vitamin D, potassium, protein, vitamin A, vitamin B12, phosphorus, riboflavin and niacin.The recently released 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourage 3 daily servings of low-fat or fat-free milk and milk products. These evidence-based nutritional guidelines are developed by the federal government to promote health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity through improved nutrition and physical activity. The new guidelines encourage 3 daily servings for adults and children nine years and older. For children ages 4-8, the recommendation was increased from 2 to 2.5 servings, and for children ages 2-3, the recommendation remains 2 servings.All milk is antibiotic-free. Every tank load of milk entering a dairy processing plant in the U.S. is strictly tested for animal drug residues and disposed of if it tests positive.All milk naturally contains hormones. In fact, all foods derived fromanimals contain trace amounts of protein hormones, usually a fewparts-per-billion. Research shows hormones are present in tiny quantities and are digested harmlessly in the human stomach just like any other protein you eat.Dairy farmers ship milk to processing plants where it is made into drinking “fluid” milk, cheese, yogurt, etc. The milk from small farms and large farms is combined during this process. There is no scientific evidence concluding that organic dairy products or milk produced on small farms is safer or healthier than milk produced on conventional farms or large farms. Milk is milk. All milk is wholesome, safe and nutritious.

Dairy products are an important part of a healthy diet. Milk contains nine essential nutrients; calcium, potassium, phosphorous, protein, vitamins A, D, and B12, riboflavin and niacin.The recently released 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans encourage 3 daily servings of low-fat or fat-free milk and milk products. These evidence-based nutritional guidelines are developed by the federal government to promote health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity through improved nutrition and physical activity.The new guidelines encourage 3 daily servings for adults and children nine years and older. For children ages 4-8, the recommendation was increased from 2 to 2.5 servings, and for children ages 2-3, the recommendation remains 2 servings.There is no scientific evidence concluding that organic dairy products are safer or healthier than conventional dairy products. So you can feel good about consuming all varieties of milk, cheese and yogurt as part of a healthy, balanced diet.Our cow's diet is prepared by a nutritionist to insure the animals are receiving all the nutrients necessary to be healthy and productive.Milk and dairy products are highly regulated. Every tank load of milk entering a processing facility in the U.S. is tested for antibiotics and if it tests positive it's discarded and never enters the food chain.Some dairy farmers choose to use rBST (an FDA approved technology). Studies show that milk from cows supplemented with rBST is the same wholesome product as milk from non-supplemented cows. All milk naturally contains tiny amounts of hormones.

This question, and most of the answers, show a fundamental misunderstanding of food, nutrition, and basic biology.When you eat something, let's say beef and vegetable stew with mash potato for this example, it enters your digestive system. Firstly, an enzyme (biological catalyst), called amylase, found in saliva will start to break down long carbohydrates (starch, in the potato) into simplier sugars, such as sucrose (table sugar). Once the food reaches the stomach further enzymes, called proteases, will start to break down the proteins (mostly in the beef) into simplier chemicals known as amino acids. Then, as the food passes through the gut, the final relevant form of enzyme, called lipases, breaks down the fat molecules (again mostly in the beef) into fatty acids and glycerol.The gut then absorbs these simple sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and glycerol, as well as water, vitamins, minerals, salt, and any sugars that were already present in the food. Fiber (indigestible material, mostly in the vegetables) will pass through the gut and in doing so help keep the digestive system clear and healthy.I've used an example, but the same is true no matter what food we are discussing.So what foods are 'killing us slowly'? None of them. It's not about individual foods, the body doesn't know the difference between sugar from an apple and sugar from a cake, it can't tell the difference between proteins that come from fresh steak and those that come from quote-unquote 'processed' meat.Where you can cause health issues is in your overall diet. Too much carbohydrate, especially simple sugars, can damage the pancreas as it attempts to modulate the levels of sugar in the blood and wears out its cells. Too much fat, especially saturated fat that tends to accumulate, can block veins and arteries increasing blood pressure and the risks of heart disease and heart attacks. Too much food in general will cause weight gain. This isn't about individual foods, it's about looking at the compilation of your diet in general. GMO foods are no different to normal foods. 'Processed' foods, while often containing high levels of salt and sugar, are not in of themselves harmful if consumed in moderation.What will harm you is having too much, or too little, of anything. It's recommended that adults limit their consumption of simple sugars to 90g a day, salt to 10g, saturated fat to 20g, while also trying to get adaquate levels of vitamins and minerals. Calorific consumption should match calorific output if you wish to maintain your weight, a deficit will cause weight loss and a surplus will cause weight gain (typical daily calorific output is between 1800–3000 depending on age, size, and activity levels). Going over or under on any given day won't make any difference, but consistantly ignoring these guidelines can cause health issues.
