Encouraging milk consumption in children and adolescents will ensure the delivery of a range of positive health benefits. Milk based foods are the richest and most readily absorbable source of calcium in the Australian diet and milk is a convenient, staple food. Milk drinking should be actively encouraged for the majority of children and adolescents. Milk consumption in childhood and adolescence has been shown in a number of retrospective studies to have positive effects on achieving peak bone density prior to growth ceasing [i].

There are valid concerns that the current intake of milk and milk based foods is below National Health Authority recommendations.  The latest Australian National Nutrition Survey showed that 30% of children and adolescents aged 2-18 years consumed less than one serve of milk products and dishes on the day of the survey. A further 51% consumed between one and three serves and only 20% consumed the recommended three or more serves[ii].

The ingenious Sipahh milk flavouring straws have the ability to easily and simply turn plain milk into flavoured milk. Nutritionally sound flavoured milk.  Trials have demonstrated that kids love the fun experience of drinking milk with a Sipahh straw – even children who normally refuse to drink milk.
