Re-reading my post, I realized that it sounds like I am advocating for people to stop drinking milk. That is simply not true. To clarify, I only want people to be aware that drinking the three glasses of milk as advertised by the dairy industry will to lead to weight gain rather than weight loss. I firmly believe that a particular food item should not be ban from a person's diet, unless they have a history of abusing it. It is very hard to OD on milk. Thank you for pointing this out.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('157','asithi'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('157','asithi','Hi Tom - Welcome back!\r\nRe-reading my post, I realized that it sounds like I am advocating for people to stop drinking milk.

For example, this article http://www.weightlossresources.co.uk/weight_loss/weight_loss_tips/milk_calcium.htm cites a study where people actually lost more weight by making dairy products part of their diet.After doing some research on both the positives and negatives of milk for one of my previous blog articles, I came to the conclusion that milk should not be avoided as part of a weight loss diet but consumed in moderation. My slant is that a product as popular as milk is always going to be scrutinised (look at the constantly changing opinions on bottled water vs tap water). However, there aren't many other natural drinks which provide your body with the nutrients that milk does. It's not just calcium it provides. A high concentration of valuable nutrients such as Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and Potassium (to name a few) are all present in milk.It's not done me any harm in the past and I have drank it for as long as I can remember so I won't be giving milk up anytime soon.Tom Parkers last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/FreeFitnessTips/~3/323629708/newsletter-june-2008.html" rel="nofollow">The Free Fitness Tips Newsletter - June 2008</a><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('153','Tom Parker'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('153','Tom Parker','I think there\'s too much conflicting evidence to definitively say whether milk is good or bad for weight loss.
