That's a really interesting article. I'd like to know what a 'low calcium diet' is. Never heard of such criteria. To evaluate this data it would be necessary to know what the people in the test and control groups ate, not just low calcium and high calcium. What was the nutrient mix? They vaguely describe a traditional low calorie diet, the favorite of clinical nutritionists everywhere.
Anyway, I eat some cheese because it's lower carb than milk and cream. And plenty of green veggies, just like most of the lo carb plans specify. There's lots of calcium in broccolli, for example.
Some people stall when eating dairy of any kind.
A cup of whole milk has 11g of carbs. That's pretty high so I usually don't work it into my plan. I notice that they didn't state the carb content in their breakdown of milk.
They knock calcium supplements - but of course it depends which one you take. Lots are useless, no doubt.
There are plenty of people who would disagree that milk is important for a healthy diet, as stated in the article.
I see the National Dairy Council funded the study. Can't blame 'em for trying.
