ANNOUNCER:

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ADULTS ARE FALLING SHORT ON NUTRIENTS IMPORTANT FOR BONE HEALTH WITH 76 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION NOT GETTING ENOUGH VITAMIN D AND 72 PERCENT NOT GETTING ENOUGH CALCIUM IN THEIR DAILY DIET.  Shirley Dolland, Manager of the Betty Crocker Kitchens, says focusing on foods we know provide these nutrients can make a big difference in overall health.

SHIRLEY DOLLAND, MANAGER, THE BETTY CROCKER KITCHENS:

“Milk, cheese and yogurt during childhood and adolescence can help build strong bones and may reduce the risk of fractures and osteoporosis later in life.  Help meet the daily recommendation for calcium and vitamin D with snacks like Yoplait yogurt, which is the only leading brand to contain both of these essential nutrients in every serving.  Some fortified breakfast cereals are also a good source of vitamin D.”
