Overview: The study showed that children ages 6-17 who consumed more than 6-8 ounces of flavored dairy products, such as milks, yogurts, ice creams and puddings, each day had a better diet than those who regularly drank sodas and sweetened fruit drinks. Those consuming more flavored dairy got more than two servings of dairy foods and took in more calcium, folate and iron, fewer added sugars and less saturated fat overall than children who drank more than 16-25 ounces of sodas and sweetened fruit drinks every day. The analysis also showed that only children ages 6-11 who did not consume sodas and sweetened drinks got the recommended amount of calcium each day.
