To compare children's dietary intake and body mass index percentile (BMI%ile) between those who did and did not consume flavored milk (FM). In the Québec Adiposity and Lifestyle Investigation in Youth (QUALITY) study (2005–2008), 632 Caucasian children aged 8–10 years (with at least one obese parent) were recruited. Assessment of FM, sugar sweetened beverage (SSB) and nutrient intakes was based on three 24‐hour recalls. Height and weight were measured for calculating BMI%ile. Physical activity was scaled using 7‐day accelerometer. Time spent in the sedentary behavior was collected using standard questionnaire. The percentage of overweight children was 41.9%. FM drinkers (N = 90) consumed 132g/d FM per day and had a higher mean intake for calcium (930 vs. 837 mg; P = 0.010), Vitamin D (6.9 vs. 5.9 μg; P = 0.021) and total sugar (99 g vs. 90 g, P = 0.015) than non‐FM drinkers (N = 521). These differences remained significant after adjustment for total energy intake. In multivariate analysis controlling for physical activity, sedentary behavior and SSB intake, FM consumption was not associated with BMI%ile. FM consumption was not associated with BMI%ile despite higher sugar intake and FM provided higher levels of calcium and Vitamin D intake.
