National dietary surveillance data collected as part of the National Health and Nutrition Education Survey (NHANES) provides a way to examine the contribution of different foods and food groups to nutrient intakes in the U.S. population. The USDA recently developed the Food Patterns Equivalents Database (FPED) to better align with the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The goal of this project was to examine nutrient intakes from milk in Americans aged 2 and over. Data from the dietary component of the 2007‐2008 and 2009‐2010 NHANES were used, and nutrient intakes from milk (whole, reduced‐fat, low‐fat, fat‐free) were determined using the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 26, and weighted averages of milk intake based on NHANES consumption data. Approximately 70% percent of milk was consumed as milk with the rest as part of mixed dishes. Total milk consumption contributed only 5.5% of total calories, but a substantial amount of several nutrients: 56.3% of vitamin D, 27.5% of calcium, 21.1% of vitamin B 12 , 20.2% of vitamin A, 19.3% of riboflavin, 15.8% of phosphorus, 12.8% of potassium, 9.5% of protein, 8.8% of magnesium, 3.0% of sodium, and 9.5% of saturated fat. These results show that milk consumption continues to be an important source of nutrients in the U.S. diet, including calcium, vitamin D, and potassium which are nutrients Americans are encouraged to increase.
