This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study examines the effects of dietary information on women's whole and low‐fat milk intakes. The sample is 1928 female meal planners aged 20 years or over who provided information on their milk intake for 2 days in the 1994–96 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals and who completed the 1994–96 Diet and Health Knowledge Survey in the follow‐up interview. The nested Tobit model was used to handle the sequentially censored data. Women's dietary information contributed to reduced whole milk consumption and increased low‐fat milk consumption indicating different effects on whole milk and low‐fat milk consumption.
