Did you know…

that consuming chocolate milk:

• Improves children’s nutrient intake.

• Does not contribute to dental cavities. Chocolate milk is liquid and cleared relatively quickly from the mouth, so it may be less cariogenic than other sugar-containing foods (e.g., raisins, candy) that adhere to tooth surfaces.

• And…may in fact protect against them! Several components in chocolate milk, such as cocoa, milk fat, calcium and phosphorus, may protect against dental cavities.
