Replacing one serving of red meat per day with one serving of low-fat dairy would reduce the risk of death by an estimated 10% over 22 to 28 years according to two studies analyzed by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Replacing one serving of red meat per day with one serving of whole grains would reduce the risk of death by an estimated 14% over 22 to 28 years according to two studies analyzed by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

“Milk also has the peculiar property of enhancing the potency of vitamin D,” according to a wonderful book published in 1980 called “Sunlight Could Save Your Life” by Zane Kime, MD.

Adding 90 IU’s of vitamin D to milk had a greater effect than adding 10X this much to cod liver oil. Many experts in the past have recommended that vitamin D should NOT be added to milk and other foods.

Eating a high-dairy diet versus a low-dairy diet increases weight loss by 2-3 lbs if you restricting calories according to data from 10 studies.

Eating a high-dairy diet does NOT cause weight loss if you are not restricting calories according to data from 6 studies. When comparing the body weight of those on a high-dairy diet versus those on a low-dairy diet, those on a high-dairy diet GAINED 0.7 pounds.

Obese men and women who replaced two meals per day with a meal replacement shake containing 215 calories, consisting of 15 grams of protein from skim milk powder, lost an average of 24.2 pounds in six months according to a recent study from researchers at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Adelaide, South Australia.

Obese men and women who for the first six (6) months replaced two (2) meals per day with a meal replacement shake containing 215 calories, consisting of 15 grams of protein from skim milk powder, and then for the next six (6) months replaced one (1) meal per day, lost an average of 23.8 pounds in one (1) year according to a recent study from researchers at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Adelaide, South Australia.

Dairy and dairy calcium have been promoted as increasing weight loss and fat loss according to research supported by the Dairy Management, a marketing creation of the United States Department of Agriculture which was created to help to sell more dairy, milk and cheese. However, this research appears to be bogus, and other researchers have found no evidence of weight loss according to an article in the New York Times.

When Jean Harvey-Berino, chairwoman of the Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences at the University of Vermont, did a study paid for by Dairy Management, a marketing creation of the United States Department of Agriculture which was created to help to sell more dairy, milk and cheese, but found “a high-dairy calcium diet does not substantially improve weight loss beyond what can be achieved in a behavioral intervention”, Dairy Management took the news poorly, threatening to audit her work according to an article in the New York Times.

“If you want to look at why people are fat today, it’s pretty hard to identify a contributor more significant than this meteoric rise in cheese consumption,” Dr. Neal D. Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, an advocacy group, said in an interview as quoted in an article in the New York Times about how dairy was promoted for weight loss, but the claims appear to be not true.

Between 1977-78 and 1999-2001, “Overall, energy intake from [milk] was reduced by 38%,” according to a paper by researcher at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Between 1977-78 and 1999-2001, “Overall, energy intake from sweetened beverages [including a 38% reduction in calories from milk resulted in]... a 278 total calorie increase,” according to a paper by researcher at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“I have seen transformations [out of depression] faster than almost anything else we do “[ by eliminating foods that people are allergic to. ]” notes Joan Mathews Larson, PhD in this video clip.

“Glycomacropeptide is a peptide that has been shown to stimulate release of cholecystokinin [CCK], which may promote satiety,” a new study from researchers at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization in Adelaide, Australia starts out.

However, people did not lose more weight when given glycomacropeptide-enriched whey protein power to use as a meal replacment than those given skim milk powder.

In fact, those given glycomacropeptide-enriched whey protein powder as meal replacements lost 2 pounds less than those given skim milk powder as a meal replacement—a weight loss of roughly 22 pounds versus 24 pounds.

Among U.S. children, 6- to 11-years-old, milk consumption dropped by an average of 39 percent from 1977 to 2001 according to a report titled F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies Are Failing in America, 2008 from the Trust for America’s Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Women consumed an average of 104 more calories at a meal when they were given a caloric beverage containing 156 calories to drink with the meal of either cola, orange juice or low-fat milk containing 1 percent fat than when they were given a non-caloric beverage of either a diet soda, water or no beverage according to a study by Barbara Rolls and colleagues at Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pennsylvania, USA.

In other words, liquid calories tend not to reduce calorie intake the way that solid food does. This has been shown in numerous other studies as well.

Comment: The best weight loss doctor I know tells his patients, “No liquid calories.”

Rats fed a high-fat diet gained less weight and less body fat when lactose (milk sugar) was added to their diet according to a new study from researchers at Japan Women’s University in Tokyo.

Children who consume more animal protein, especially dairy protein, at the age of 1-year and 5- to 6-years-old have higher levels of body fat at the age of 7 than those who consume less according to a new study from researchers at the Research Institute of Child Nutrition at the University of Bonn in Dortmund, Germany.

Milk can no longer be advertised or marketed in the U.S. as a way of helping you lose weight according to a letter dated May 3rd, 2007 sent from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) who has looked into the matter as being a false advertising claim.

Children who consume the least dairy weighed roughly 8-12 pounds more by early adolescence than children who consume the most according to a new study from researchers at Boston University School of Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

People who consume the most dairy are least likely to have a large waist, least likely to have high blood pressure, and least likely to have metabolic syndrome according to a study from Iran.

Overweight and obese men in Portugal are less likely to drink milk than normal weight men according to a new study, suggesting that milk may help to prevent obesity.

Children 6- to 11-years-old drank four times as much milk as any other beverage in 1977-1978, but only 1.5 times as much milk as soft drinks by 1994-1996 according to the Institute of Medicine’s report on Childhood Obesity (2004, p. 33).

Americans are consuming 135 percent more sweetened beverages, 38 percent less milk and 278 more calories than we did in 1977-1978 according to a new study.

Children who consume more milk and dairy products are leaner than those who consume less.
