Is Moo Juice Fattening or Not?
Posted: 05/02/2008 04:48 PM ESTSorry everyone, we’re about to confuse you on diet trends even more than you already are.
Remember when everyone was hyping how consuming dairy was the new answer to losing weight? Now, that’s apparently not true. A review of several studies concluded that eating a significant amount of milk products actually promotes weight gain, not weight loss.
The most semi-shocking news to come out of this review? It claims that all the studies that said dairy promotes weight loss were funded by the dairy industry.
Try to contain your frustration for a minute because we’re about to drop something else on you. According to this Los Angeles Times blog post, this particular review was done by a company that doesn’t believe that dairy should be a part of anyone’s diet.
The question is, do you care? Will this study lead you to make dietary changes, or is it just a lot of noise? [latimes.com]

Dairy products are high in fat and cholesterol and are devoid of fiber. I just read the book "Fit for Life and Not Fat For Life". It has a whole chapter on dairy. Excellent Book!!
I have struggled with "adult acne" for the last five years or so, after having been blessed with clear, nice skin in my teen years. My high school friends were a bit envious of my lack of pimples. I have been in participating in a 12 step food addiction program that requires you to eat 8 oz. of plain yogurt for breakfast every day, and to make a daily phone call to report what food you will eat that day. I stopped worrying about the calls last week, and haven't eaten any yogurt, and my face is clear!! Looks to me like there may be a connection between dairy and my skin flare ups!
I feel some milk can be fattening however drinking 1% is what I drink. A child must have milk or milk products in order for their bones to grow correctly. The whole milk that some people drink I feel is what is te fattening part. With me drinking whole milk is like drinking cream, and who would want to do that. There are great tasting powdered milk on the market so if a person doesn't want to drink milk per se but still want to have milk in their diet they should try those.
Being in health care for 30 years I can honestly say that tracking food in people has shown me that the ones who drink large amounts of processed milk are less inclined to have energy, stamina, and more inclined to develop diabetes, heart problems, harding of the arteries, and yes even cancer.
Recently I viewed a French documntary that addressed the use of new GMO's and products given to our cattle that we eat and get milk from and the information reinforced what I have been seeing for the last 30 years and why it is getting worse as the baby boomers become older.
