“…Children and adolescents consume more of the highest-fat varieties of cheese, yogurt, ice-cream and diary-based toppings. As suggested by Johnson et al [2002], perhaps flavored milks offer a well-accepted nutritional alternative to the wide array of beverages available to children and adolescents.…”

The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional status and dietary habits among female adolescents. Four hundred seventy nine subjects aged from 17 to 18 years, from secondary schools of the Great Poland Region participated in the study. Anthropometric parameter measurements included those of body height and mass, skinfold thickness and circumferences of waist, hip and arm. The measurements served to calculate the percentage of fat mass and arm muscle area. Nutritional questionnaires were used to estimate the frequency and intake of selected food products. Mean values of body height and mass were approximately in the 50 th percentile. However, 13.7% of females were underweight, 7.7% were overweight and 1.2% were obese. Cluster analysis resulted in 3 clusters, of which the second one showed the most detrimental nutritional habits. This cluster was characterised by the lowest intake of dairy products, fruits and vegetables, fish, meat and also by frequent long breaks between meals (longer than 5 hours). Improper nutritional behavior is a frequent finding in female adolescents, in Poland. Nevertheless, overweight and obesity are not more common than in other countries. Studies in this area should be continued and extended.

“…Children at this stage are in a calcium crisis as most of them are not meeting current calcium recommendations. 7 Johnson et al 8 showed that children who drink flavored milk consume more milk and hence have higher calcium intake. The American Academy of Pediatric 9 has recognized the value of flavored milk with modest amount of sugar for school children.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and to compare the cariogenic potential of different commonly consumed flavored milk on caries development in rat's molar teeth. Materials and methods:Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats infected with an active growing culture of Streptococcus mutans were offered chocolate flavored milk, strawberry flavored milk, banana flavored milk, plain milk, sweetened plain milk with 5% sucrose, and 10% sucrose ad libitum.Results: Rats consuming flavored milk developed significantly lower sulcal and smooth surface caries scores than rats consuming 10% sucrose. However, rats consuming plain milk developed significantly lower sulcal and smooth surface caries scores than animals consuming flavored or sweetened plain milk except for chocolate flavored milk. Conclusion:It was concluded that flavored milk containing 5% sucrose showed a moderate cariogenic potential.Clinical significance: Although the overall results suggest that the cariogenic potential of flavored milk is moderate and despite their nutritional value, occasional consumption of flavored milk as a beverage might be accepted with caution. Parents, dental practitioners and other healthcare professionals should be aware of the cariogenicity of flavored milk. They should keenly encourage the use of plain milk and discourage the use of any cariogenic drink which has a deleterious effect on teeth.

“…Flavors (chocolate, strawberry, banana etc) are added to UHT milk mainly for children who do not like the taste and flavor of pure UHT milk. Although flavored milk is criticized as a source of added sugars, children consuming flavored milk meet their calcium requirements without consuming significantly more added sugars compared with children who are not milk drinkers (32,39). Data from the Third School Nutrition Dietary Assessment Study shows that most of the elementary school students (71%) choose flavored milk (15).…”

Summary:In this study a total of 90 flavored Ultra High Temperature (UHT) milk samples (cacao, strawberry and banana flavors, 30 samples for each) were analyzed in order to determine the occurrence and the level of Aflatoxin M 1 (AFM 1 ) contamination by using Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) method. The results showed that none of the samples exceeded the maximum limit of AFM 1 prescribed by Turkish Food Codex (TFC) and European Union Codex (50 ppt; 50ng/l). However, 75.6% of the samples (68 samples) examined were determined to be contaminated with AFM 1 at various levels ranging between 0.39 and 26.6 ng/l. The results showed that, although the detected AFM 1 levels were lower than the accepted limits, AFM 1 contamination of flavored UHT milk, especially preferred and consumed by children with high susceptibility due to their slower biotransformation capacity for carcinogens, could be a public health concern.Key words: Aflatoxin M 1 , ELISA, flavored UHT milk, public health. Aromalı UHT sütlerde AFM 1 varlığıÖzet: Bu çalışmada toplam 90 aromalı UHT süt örneğinde (Kakolu, çilekli ve muzlu, her birisinden 30 adet olacak şekilde) AFM 1 varlığı ve seviyesi ELISA metodu kullanılarak araştırıldı. Sonuçlar, incelenen örneklerin hiçbirisinin AFM 1 miktarları açısından Türk Gıda Kodeksi ve Avrupa Birliği Kodeksi sınırlarını (50 ppt; 50 ng/l) aşmadığını gösterdi. Buna rağmen, incelenen örneklerin %75.6'sının (68 örnek) 0.39'dan 26.6 ng/l'ye değişen seviyelerde AFM 1 ile kontamine olduğu belirlendi. Sonuçlar, incelenen örneklerde belirlenen AFM 1 seviyelerinin kabul edilen sınırların altında olmasına karşın, özellikle çocuklar tarafından fazlaca tercih edilen ve tüketilen aromalı UHT sütlerin AFM 1 ile kontamine olmaları durumunda, çocuklarda karsinojenlerin biyotransformasyon mekanizmasının daha yavaş olması nedeniyle, bir halk sağlığı problemi olabileceğini gösterdi. Anahtar sözcükler: Aflatoksin M 1 , aromalı UHT süt, ELISA, halk sağlığı.
