An ice-cold glass of milk is a favorite of many, and the benefits
of drinking milk is one that many in the U.S. take advantage of. As a
long-standing source of nutrition, milk is known to support growth and

Now your favorite beverage may be known for something else... drinking more milk, or eating more of other dairy foods, might help you shed extra pounds according to research recently published.
The study found that adults who consumed the most amount of dairy products lost just short of a stone in weight at the six-month point, while those who only ate low levels of dairy products lost just half a stone after two years.
Increased vitamin D levels in the blood were also related to successful weight loss. Those having the most amount of dairy consumed about 12 oz of milk or 580 mg of dairy calcium; the lowest was 150 milligrams (about half a glass).
