The milk is recognized as the best source of calcium. But is that calcium can help you lose weight? Some experts say no.
Thus, an American study of 2005 was conducted among children who consumed more than 3 servings of dairy products per day. The conclusion of the study was that the children gained weight. The study also showed mixed results when it comes to whether the calcium in milk may accelerate the elimination of fat in our body.
However, remember that experts recommend eating dairy products only 3 servings of dairy products per day, not more than 3 servings (which is the case in that study).
In this context, three other U.S. studies were conducted by the same research group. 30 people were in each study. The researchers found that people who consumed three dairy products a day lost more weight and more fat than those who did not eat at all. The researchers also suggested that calcium, even taken alone as a nutritional supplement for example, can help people lose weight. And if calcium is added to milk products, the effect of weight loss will be amplified, the researchers said.
However, another U.S. study found that people who ate more dairy products showed no significant difference with those who ate very little.
