Milk consumption is highest in older adults and specific regions (Central Latin America, Europe), while fruit juice consumption is highest in Australasia and high-income North America, with all three beverage categories being lowest in East Asia and Oceania.
If you are older, you likely consume more milk, which is a key source of calcium and vitamin D. If you live in East Asia or Oceania, your intake of all major non-alcoholic caloric beverages (SSBs, juice, milk) is among the lowest globally. Adjust your intake based on regional norms and age-related nutritional needs.
milk intakes were highest in older adults... fruit juice consumption showed little relation with age... Intakes of all three beverages were lowest in East Asia and Oceania.
