3-A-DAY OF DAIRY FOR A HEALTHY WEIGHT
Volume 76, Number 6 Nov/Dec 2005
Conclusion
Ongoing research is attempting to determine dairy foods’ role in helping to achieve a healthy body weight and body composition in adults and children and to learn more about mechanisms involved in the dairy-body weight relationship. Research from in vitro and experimental animal studies suggests that dietary calcium and other dairy components (e.g., protein, branched chain amino acids, bioactives) may regulate energy metabolism and obesity risk (12-15,47). Based on the evidence to date, health professionals are encouraged to recommend adequate calcium intake, preferably from dairy foods, when counseling patients about weight management (48).
