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.
