Following up that earlier dietary post

This news just in from Sweden:  Full fat dairy products are more likely to keep you slim than comparable low-fat products.

"The surprising conclusion was that increased consumption of cheese meant that overweight women lost weight," said Alicja Wolk, professor at Karolinska Institute, to Svenska Dagbladet.

The ten-year study found that a glass of whole milk every day reduced weight gain by 15%, while full-fat whole-milk cheese was even more effective, reducing weight gain by 30%.  The milk fat also helps boost calcium uptake.

Hey, I've always used butter. Go for the best tasting cheese (though I go low fat if it tastes good). And we never go Non-Fat on milk, usually 1 - 2 percent. And I found 2 percent cottage cheese so much better than 1 percent (plus the local brand adds calcium to the 2 percent) that I gave up on 1 percent. So although I'm not Fat Crazy, I'm not fat deprived either.
And we all have normal cholestoral levels, too.
Now all we need to do is start losing that weight they keep promising us...
