Man, that was funny. Milk is toxic! You are lucky if you can even digest the stuff. You would not want to be around me after a big glass of milk… bloating and gas. And your hurting the environment and inocent animals unless your buying 100% natural and organic.

It’s easy to get sucked into the commercials that some companies put out there, I’m guilty of buying Special K for the idea of losing weight. It’s true what you say, reduce the calories, reduce the waistline.

If anything the dairy campaign will get more women and men to get their 3 a day of dairy that they need to reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Which they have been campaigning the benefits of dairy for your bones forever. Even if it only aids in weightloss in a small way the benefits to your bones is worth it.

Just to add: Here’s a website that describes the actual studies and findings used to support this claim:

I agree with you that most of these things – like the “special K” diet – are kind of silly. Like you point out, doing anything “as part of a reduced calorie diet” will help you lose weight. However, the claim they are making regarding milk really *is* a little different.

Some studies have suggested that even after you take into account calorie consumption, other diet factors, and exercise – getting in those 2-3 servings of milk per day promotes further weight loss. So the idea is, if you took two groups and put them on identical diets and fitness routines, except one group had 3 servings of milk as part of their diet (still consuming the same amount of calories as the other group) – the milk group would lose more weight. The suggestion is that there is something about the calcium and/or other nutrients contained in milk that help you lose weight.

Now overall, there appears to be mixed findings about this, so I’m not saying it’s definitely right, or that it’s right for the dairy industry to be pushing it so much.

But, I did think it’s important to clarify what the claim means, so we’re in a better position to evaluate it.
