Program SOLON, Ohio, June 7, 2005 In a recent report, the Surgeon General implored Americans to pay attention to bone health. America has listened. Through CARNATION(R) Evaporated Milk's "Pour it in. Pass it on." program, over 28,000 Americans have already joined the fight against osteoporosis. But it's not enough. According to the Surgeon General, by the year 2020 one in two Americans over the age of 50 will be at risk for fractures from osteoporosis and low bone mass. More people are needed to join the fight, and each and every American can help. The program is simple: Pour it in -- Use CARNATION(R) Evaporated Milk in any recipe that calls for regular milk to add an extra boost of bone-strengthening calcium. CARNATION(R) Evaporated Milk has twice the calcium as the same amount of regular milk. Pass it on -- Go to http://www.verybestbaking.com WIN -- Registrants who enter the "Pour it in. Pass it on." sweepstakes, which runs until July 30, 2005, have a chance to win a $10,000 family vacation, a KitchenAid(R) Cookware set or a subscription to Better Homes and Gardens(R). Every time you get a friend to register for the sweepstakes, you receive another entry. And every time they get a friend to register, you receive yet another entry. There is no purchase necessary to participate, and an offline entry option is available. In addition to donating to the fight against osteoporosis, CARNATION(R) is encouraging people to learn more about bone health through education. While calcium intake is crucial in preventing osteoporosis, calcium alone cannot prevent or cure the disease. Regular exercise, especially weight-bearing exercises such as walking and running, helps keep bones strong. Additionally, not smoking and limiting alcohol intake can help the body absorb and retain calcium more efficiently.
