New Insights on Dairy’s Role in Health for Black Americans
The National Medical Association* (NMA) has released a new series of evidence reviews on the role of dairy in the health and well-being of Black Americans. Over the past two decades, the NMA has examined how dairy consumption impacts chronic disease risks, especially in communities with high rates of lactose intolerance.

Executive summary: The role of dairy food intake for improving health among Black Americans across the life continuum focuses on the significant benefits of dairy intake across different life stages. The findings highlight the importance of adequate dairy consumption, particularly for Black Americans, to improve nutrition and health outcomes, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Key Highlights:

  1. Life Course Approach: The series assesses dairy’s impact on health at various stages:
    1. Pregnancy, fetal development, and lactation
    2. Infants, toddlers, and young children
    3. Older children and adolescents
    4. Adults
    5. Geriatric populations
       
  2. Health Benefits Across Life Stages: Evidence continues to show that higher dairy intake is linked to reduced risk for common deficiencies and chronic diseases at each life stage. NMA recommends that Black Americans increase their daily dairy intake to meet dietary recommendations.
     
  3. Lactose Intolerance: The series provides updated evidence-based and culturally relevant strategies for managing lactose intolerance while maximizing the nutritional benefits of dairy.

*The National Medical Association is the largest and oldest national organization representing African American physicians and their patients in the United States.
