Contains Carrageenan!
Carrageenan is an additive made from seaweed. It is used as a thickener in products such as ice cream, jelly, chocolate milk, infant formula, cottage cheese. It is a vegetarian and vegan alternative to gelatin.It has been used for hundreds of years in Ireland and China, but only made headway into modern food processing in the last 50 years. The processing steps after harvesting the seaweed include drying, grounding, filtration, treatment with potassium hydroxide, removal of cellulose by centrifuge, concentration by evaporation, drying, and grounding. Interestingly, the Philippines account for the vast majority of the world supply of carrageenan.In some animal studies, carrageenan was shown to cause intestinal lacerations and tumors. A 2001 meta-study of 45 peer-reviewed studies concluded that carrageenan consumption may result in gastrointestinal malignancy and inflammatory bowel.The FDA has approved carrageenan as safe, basing its decision on industry funded studies. European agencies and the World Health Organization have also deemed carrageenan safe, with the exception of infant formula. The fear is the a baby's gut may be unable to handle the large carrageenan molecules.In some individuals carrageenan may cause intestinal discomfort or worse.

Learn about Vitamin D, Milk and You
Vitamin D is an important vitamin - it helps us live longer, improves bone health and increases immunity. And it's easy to get - it comes straight from the sun! But the truth is that many people have a hard time getting enough. Vitamin D is not found naturally in many foods. That's why it's supplemented in milk. Fat helps in the absorption of D - keep this in mind if you drink nonfat milk.But is milk a good source of Vitamin D? Not exactly . . . Many studies have found milk contains less Vitamin D than it purports. And you've only got around 20-25% of Vitamin D in fortified milk - you shouldn't drink 4 glasses of a milk a day. If you're having a tough time getting enough D, don't rely solely on milk. Try and include D-rich foods in your diet, or consult with a health professional about taking supplements. You should never self-prescribe D supplements - get your levels tested first because Vitamin D can be toxic.New guidelines released in 2011 recommend 600 IU a day of Vitamin D, with the average requirement of 400 IU. See the link for a detailed chart on calcium and Vitamin D recommendations.
