MIAMI, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- The Chilean actor, author and super dad has joined the Milk Processors Education Program (MilkPEP) to communicate to Hispanic families how drinking three glasses of low-fat or fat-free milk can build strong, healthy families. Cristian, alongside his wife, Angelica Castro, and daughter, Laura de la Fuente Castro, will show off their milk mustaches in the upcoming Hispanic ad campaign, which debuts in print magazines nationwide in January.

"I feel privileged to be able to reach out to all the Hispanic parents and talk about the role milk can play in building strong families. As a family man, I feel it's my responsibility to help build a strong family, both physically and emotionally," Cristian said, "and milk can help."

Milk: The Perfect Partner for Building a Strong Family

Milk is naturally nutrient rich like no other beverage and, provides more benefits per glass than virtually any other beverage. As got milk?'s latest celebrity advocate and a fitness enthusiast, Cristian is honored to have the opportunity to educate Hispanic families about the benefits of drinking fat- free and low-fat milk, which contains the same nine essential nutrients as whole milk. Cristian makes sure he and his daughter drink low-fat milk to ensure that they receive the nine essential nutrients, especially protein, which along with exercise helps build and maintain muscle. In addition to protein, milk contains Vitamin A, Niacin, Vitamin B-12, Potassium, Riboflavin, Phosphorus, Vitamin D, and Calcium. At less than 25 cents a glass, milk serves as the source of your family's strength and provides value by the glass. That's why it's important to make sure you and your family are getting the recommended three servings of low-fat milk per day for your family's wellbeing.
