If you’re a parent, you might have noticed toddler “milk” while browsing the formula aisle. The powdered drink, aimed at children between 1 and 3, often pledges benefits like “improved brain development” or “improved immune function.”

But you may not know that these products are largely unregulated and make claims that are not supported by science, according to studies. For this reason, among others, public health authorities around the world have long sought to police such advertising. Yet despite these efforts, toddler milk has grown to become a $20 billion global business.

        Not who you’re responding to, but yes, milk is both very tasty and fairly healthy. I essentially drink exclusively milk or water, unless i’m at a party or something.

        Yes, everyone drinks milk. In the coffee, in the smoothie or just a glass of milk. We don’t drink soda/cola unless it’s a party

      In my family there’s a lot of lactose intolerance so it’s only me and the kid to drink it
