I'm unlurking here to shortly chime in this very interesting thread to bring
these two articles to everybody's attention:
New study finds yogurt may help burn body fat:

Adolecent girls who consume more calcium weigh less:

The yogurt study seems to have been funded by the Yoplait company (or at least
there seems to be some kind of connection indicated by the email contact address).
I'm not sending these links to argue for or against consuming more dairy. I'm
simply curious what people here think about these articles. Thanks for all input.
