Among 34 obese men and women who went on a 12-week, reduced-calorie diet, those who ate three daily servings of yogurt shed more fat around the middle compared with dieters who got little to no dairy and low amounts of calcium.
The findings add to recent evidence linking calcium and dairy foods to slimmer waistlines, including research showing that children and teens who get the recommended amounts of milk, yogurt and cheese tend to be leaner than their peers who shun dairy.

Bonnie - This is the most recent spin on a study the Dairy Council has been squeezing every ounce out of lately. The study is the lynchpin of the "dairy creates weight-loss" and "3-a-day"campaigns. The real reason people lost weight in this study has nothing to do with dairy...it has to do with the participants receiving a reduced-calorie diet!
