Obesity has risen at epidemic rates over the past 20 years.

Halting this epidemic is a public health priority. (Source: National Dairy Council.)

More Proof - Research on Dairy and Weight Management

A new study, funded by the National Dairy Council, adds support to the body of research showing a connection between dairy and weight management. This study, led by Dr. Edward Melanson of University of Colorado at Denver, was designed to investigate the mechanism by which dairy and calcium may promote the body’s ability to burn fat. When exercising adults on a slightly-reduced calorie diet consumed three to four servings of dairy foods each day, their metabolism changed so that their bodies burned more fat than they did when they consumed one serving of dairy under the same conditions. The study was published in the January issue of Obesity Research (the journal of NAASO, the Obesity Society).
