Country music superstar Trisha Yearwood is singing the praises of milk, and she wants the world to know it. That's why she's signed on as the latest celebrity to sport the white mustache in the Got Milk? ad campaign.

The 43-year-old wife of Garth Brooks, mom of three girls, and cookbook author says she grew up on a farm and has been a fan of milk for her whole life.

According the National Academy of Sciences, children and adults should drink 24 ounces of milk each day. Teens should drink 32 ounces. Why? Calcium, protein, vitamin A, vitamin B-12, vitamin D, potassium, phosphorus, niacin, and riboflavin to name a few. Another reason: If you're trying to lose weight, studies show that 24 ounces of fat-free or low-fat milk every day as part of a reduced-calorie diet can help people drop pounds and burn more fat than cutting calories alone. Some people don't support these merits, arguing that milk increases cancer risk and causes a myriad of other health problems. Milk sucks, says this website. And this one lists a bunch of articles about the controversy surrounding milk consumption. Check it out and let us know what you think. Would you sport the milk mustache. Or not?

Martha Stewart is the latest in a string of celebrities to sport the milk mustache and says she's all for focusing on milk and forgoing fad diets. Milk gives her the nutrients she needs and helps her maintain a healthy weight. It's always fat-free for this craft gal who believes staying active and eating right are key in her crazy, busy world.

Stewart's favorite way to incorporate milk into her diet is to soak Irish oats in her fat-free variety and then cook to creamy perfection.

Milk has always been a staple for Stewart and her family. Same goes for the milk-mustached celebrities pictured in the gallery below.
