There has been a lot of talk about plant-based diets lately, and many dairy farmers have asked me what that means for dairy foods.

For more than a century, on behalf of dairy farmers and the dairy community, the National Dairy Council (NDC) has been committed to nutrition research and education. It has supported groundbreaking scientific research, including E.V. McCollum’s, who first made the scientific connection between dairy foods and good health in 1917.
