Tweens, teens, twenties and beyond: Meet milk, the bone-builder: 

(NC)-As kids hit their tweens and teens, their consumption of soft drinks increases at the expense of milk. Yet, this age group needs milk - and its bone-building calcium - more than any other age group, young or old.

From about age 9 to 15 years, 50 per cent of adult bone mass is acquired. During their 20s, people hit their peak bone mass, after which it slowly but steadily decreases. In other words, kids need to bank their calcium now for later in life.

It is important to keep milk front and centre in their diet at home, at school and in recreational activities. Major advances in milk processing are making this effort a lot easier.

Today, fresh milk is being briefly heated to extreme temperatures to kill all bacteria that cause spoilage, without any change in taste or loss of nutrients. It is then bottled in a completely sterile environment.

Processed this way, fresh milk can be bought in quantity, stored at room temperature and does not need to be refrigerated until after it has been opened.

Examples of fresh milk using the freshness bottle process are Neilson's milkshakes, MooJo chocolate milk, and Dairy Oh! fresh white milk with DHA in the 325-mL single-serve size, all of which are ideal for lunch boxes, cafeteria service, picnics, camping, and after sports activity such as soccer and street hockey.

Drinking sufficient milk in adulthood is just as important. One of the best weapons yet for maintaining long-term bone health may be The Ultimate Chocolate Milk developed by Neilson specifically for adults and sold in the 1L freshness bottle. It can be stored for home, cottage, ski chalet or on-the-road use.

Fresh milk treated at a high temperature and bottled in a sterile environment in the 325-mL or 1L plastic bottle stays fresh in pantries or lockers for three months without loss of freshness, flavour or nutrients, as long as the package is unopened.
