USA Today article discusses controversy about milk and weight loss


 

Preventive Medicine and Nutrition

The Dairy/Weight-Loss Deception

Despite dairy industry claims, scientific studies actually show that adding dairy products to the diet does nothing for weight control. If anything, milk contributes to weight gain. Three very recent studies, one at the University of Vermont, another at Purdue University, and the third just published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, reconfirm these findings.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is urging the federal government to put an end to false and misleading claims by dairy product manufacturers that contend milk consumption promotes weight and fat loss. PCRM is also taking legal action against companies and dairy trade groups making these false claims.
