The Dairy Report is a blog written by health professionals – registered dietitians (R.D.s), PhD nutritionists and communication experts at the National Dairy Council® (NDC). Our authors seek to provide the latest news, analysis and opinion on nutrition and health research and events. Occasionally, you will see posts from external health professional bloggers as well as experts who will be invited to guest blog.
Why start a blog? NDC understands that health professionals are seen by the public as resources for accurate health and nutrition information. NDC is committed to providing health professionals with updated and timely, credible dairy and nutrition research, as well as educational tools to help serve their patients. Plus, we think more interaction and dialogue with our peers is a good idea.
We understand the importance of supporting the health professional community online and hope to provide valuable perspectives and insights to the existing conversation about nutrition science and news. We hope you begin to see the unique personalities and high level of expertise behind our authors. And, we can’t wait to hear from you.

National Dairy Council® (NDC) is the nutrition research, education and communications arm of Dairy Management Inc™. On behalf of U.S. dairy farmers, NDC provides science-based nutrition information to, and in collaboration with, a variety of stakeholders committed to fostering a healthier society, including health professionals, educators, school nutrition directors, academia, industry, consumers and media.
Established in 1915, NDC comprises a staff of nutrition science researchers, registered dietitians and communications experts dedicated to educating the public on the health benefits of consuming milk and milk products throughout a person’s lifespan. In addition, NDC funds independent research to aid in the ongoing discovery of information about dairy foods’ important role in a healthy lifestyle. This research provides insights to industry for new dairy product innovation.
In partnership with its network of state and regional dairy councils, NDC disseminates nutrition programs, materials and research to support government recommendations for improved nutrition for Americans, including consumption of at least three servings of nutrient-rich low-fat or fat-free milk and milk products a day.
