A feature posted in September by ProCon.org on arguments for and against milk consumption notes the positive view of ACSH's Dr. Ruth Kava from ACSH's 2001 publication on The Role of Milk in Your Diet:

"Milk is a nutritious food. It is an excellent source of calcium, phosphorus, riboflavin, and vitamin D and a good source of protein, vitamin A, potassium, and several B vitamins. Milk and foods made from milk (yogurt and cheese) make up one of the five basic food groups included in the U.S. government's Food Guide Pyramid. The Pyramid calls for two to three servings from this group daily."
