The Dairy Alliance-trained dairy advocate and Registered Dietitian Lauren Manaker wrote an article for VeryWell Health responding to a recent study showing menopausal women are not protected from bone fractures or low bone density even when consuming dairy.

This is a great example of how training third party health professionals to be dairy advocates can have a large impact on sharing dairy's health benefits. The article can be read in full here.
