Weight Loss & Dairy

Our population isn’t getting any smaller. No, we are not talking about the number of people, or their height. We are talking about sheer girth! North American and European governments are reporting rising rates of heart disease, cancer, and various other ailments that are directly linked to these extra pounds.

So what about the claims that increasing your dairy consumption is a key to weight loss? Let’s look at a real world example. Overall dairy consumption in the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom has already been rising steadily over the years, mostly in the areas of low-fat milk, yogurt, and cheese. Does it look like it is working to you?

  • Calcium  ( 6 items )
    The dairy council would love you to believe that milk is the lone ranger of calcium. The truth is…calcium is naturally abundant in a wide variety of foods, including most vegetables, fruits and nuts. In fact, many green vegetables such as broccoli, bok choy and kale have calcium absorption rates of 50-70%, much higher than the 32% calcium absorption rate found in milk. Luckily, we have a wealth of information to put your mind at ease:
  • All About Milk  ( 3 items )
    Too often we consume food without understanding the nutrients it provides and the affect it may have on our bodies. Read on to assess the value of milk for you. Gain some basic knowledge in the natural purpose of milk, the results of processing, and the risks of added hormones and antibiotics.
  • Other Medical Studies  ( 14 items )
    A growing number of nutrition-oriented doctors recommend dairy free diets to encourage better overall health and disease prevention. Every calorie we consume takes on an internal role, such as energy production. Unfortunately, the proteins, sugar, and fat found in milk products often take on a counterproductive role. For many individuals, consumption of dairy products may cause, aggravate, inflame, or masquerade as a serious medical condition.
