Milk-Fueled Rats Demonstrate Dairy Diet Benefits in High Point Schools
In High Point, Miss Jane Umstead leads a Dairy Council experiment using two age mates per classroom to compare milk enriched versus water only diets in white rats. Over six weeks the milk fed rat gains outpace the water fed rat, and reverse-diet trials confirm milk’s vital elements aid growth and health. Students actively fed and weighed the rats, learning diet importance as the animals recovered to healthy, milk-fueled conditions.
