(30-03-06) New Study Dispels Dairy/Weight-Loss Myth

One of the first long-term studies to analyze the relationship between dairy product consumption and weight refutes the controversial dairy industry claim that milk causes weight loss. Researchers randomly assigned 90 obese individuals to one of three groups, each instructed to consume various amounts of dairy products.

One group consumed roughly 800 mg calcium per day; the other two consumed 1,400 mg calcium each, one with added fiber. All volunteers reduced their calorie intake by 500 calories per day.
After one year, it was clear that milk had no effect. Researchers found no difference in weight loss or fat loss among the three groups.
