Think I'll go have some, right now. YUM
After you posted, I went to Publix looking for Nesquick but couldn't find it. They had Nesquick products but not the one that says "Helps build strong bones for life".

However, while I was at publix, I did my research. I'm assuming that if the dairy industry were allowed make the claim for "building strong bones", they would be happy to do so. I can't imagine why they would not, with all the many women (and some men) who worry about developing Osteoporosis.

So I went around looking at all the many milk products throughout the store:

Instant Dry Milk (2 brands)
Sorrento Mozzarella
Publix lowfat milk
Sorrento Ricotta
Publix Yogurt

None of them said anything whatsoever about bones. None of the products said, "helps build strong bones". (Zip, zero, nada) They cannot say, "helps build strong bones" if it hasn't been proved. That's because they would be in violation of the law. Anyone doubt it?
