Julia is writing an informative essay on dairy products for her health class. Read the beginning of her introduction:

Grocery-store shelves are proof of a growing movement away from dairy products. Soy, almond, and rice are all being used to make milk, cheese, and even ice cream. Consumers of these products are usually looking for lactose-free and/or lower-fat alternatives.

Which of the following sentences should Julia add to her introduction to preview what’s to follow in her essay?


A. Though some dairy products do have a reputation for high fat content, milk and cheese also provide much-needed vitamins and minerals.

B. The fact is that children under two years of age should drink full-fat milk and then switch to low-fat or fat-free milk, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

C. However, “Milk Matters,” a program sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, explains that drinking cow’s milk is beneficial because it contains a lot of calcium and Vitamin D.

D. But children and tweens should drink at least three 8-ounce glasses of milk a day in order to get the calcium and vitamin D needed to form strong bones and healthy teeth.
