Full fat milk makes you thinner - Swedish study

Full fat dairy products are more likely to keep you slim than comparable low fat foods. That's the apparently topsy-turvy conclusion of a new Swedish study, which shows that the fat encourages calcium uptake.

Researchers at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute now reckon that daily consumption of full fat dairy products will lead to a reduction of obesity, reported Svenska Dagbladet.

--for the rest, read the article, but there's not much more than that.

Snagged from macraven, aka Dave "Daithi" Haxton, your one-stop shop for heathen geeky farmer ranty needs--who reminds you that food that's been dicked around with less is better for you.

The UK has decided that CHEESE (the full fat variety) is a junk food and will now prohibit cheese commercials during children's TV shows. There goes Wallace & Gromit! (Cheeeeeeeese, Gromit!)

Yes, I did read that and was similarly appalled; I wonder what will happen in light of the Swedish study...but I'm relatively sure that such publication of the results was influenced by the BBC cheese business.
