Chocolate Milk in Schools: Ban-worthy or necessary nutrition?

Dr. James Rippe of the Rippe Lifestyle Institute discusses the current debate on banning chocolate milk in schools and also his recent findings from a 24-week study that concluded that it is possible to actually lose weight when consuming added sugars found in flavored milk as part of a healthy diet and when consumed in moderation. His research was supported through an educational grant provided by the Corn Refiners Association. Dr. Rippe is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical School with post graduate training at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is currently the Founder and Director of the Rippe Lifestyle Institute (RLI) and Professor of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Central Florida. RLI research has been supported through educational grants from companies, organizations and foundations, including Weight Watchers International, PepsiCo, Nabisco, ConAgra Foods, Roche Laboratories, the Almond Board of California, the Corn Refiners Associations, Kraft Foods, McDonalds, Reebok, Life Fitness and other companies and organizations, with interests in nutrition, weight management, physical activity and risk factor reduction.
