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.

Lord knows I've gained a lot while drinking diet drinks.

I find that if I accidentally get a real sugar soda, I tend to drink about half of it and then run out of steam, whereas diet drinks I can drink gallons of. And probably eat while drinking.

There's probably an advantage to the fact that, besides doing strange things to my blood sugar, aspartame makes me lose my color vision.
