Hi Irene,
Thanks for sharing your experiences, that’s really helpful to read. And, interesting that you find such a benefit health-wise. I think you are very wise only purchasing dairy from your local farmer.

I discovered whole fat yogurt and milk sold locally at a outdoor farmer. They items are lightly pasteurized. In addition I have been eating the cheese sold by a local farmer. The yogurt is made with fruit and has very little sugar in it at all. Once I tried it I was hooked. The article says that it tends to help people that don’t eat dairy. That was me. I am short and have been having to watch my weight since I was a teen. Anyway, after partaking in eating the high fat foods and continuing to exercise, I have more energy and my close fit me better. I crave calcium. I seem to need it. For me, the article rings true. I would not eat the dairy from the store, though. This is nearly straight from the farm.

I absolutely agree, Christi. Everyone is so incredibly different, and what works for me won’t necessarily work for you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Interesting but my personal experience differs significantly from the research. Other than Greek yogurt and feta cheese I gave up dairy altogether about 8 months ago. I’ve noticed a huge difference. I don’t get bloated and my muscles are so defined. I think people who want to be healthy need to test and try different methods to see what works best for them. For me, no dairy – I can live without the fat, sugar and sodium.

Hi Neil,
Yes, this is always the problem with any research. It’s the same with low carb diets, high-fructose corn syrup, vaccinations, etc, there will always be the problem of researchers making results suit their own agenda.

I’m not sure what the solution is.

I see your point about milk fattening babies, but the study is looking at adults who consume all types of food and drink, not just milk. The suggestion is that when your diet is higher in calcium from dairy, a reduced amount of fat may be absorbed by the body.

Interesting. Would like to know a couple of things. First off: who is responsible for funding the studies? This “research” smacks of special interest. It would seriously surprise me to find that the dairy industry was not involved.

Also, how do these studies stack up to others of their kind? I am aware of several studies that are just as well cited and specifically state the opposite result.

Am all for drinking milk and getting calcium into my diet. I do it myself daily. But, more dairy as a weight loss supplement? Seriously? How does it make sense that the very product (milk) that is responsible for fattening up babies of all species…is now thought to do the opposite (ie.make us skinny)?
