Default Here we go again... Study on milk & childhood obesity

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...l_nm/milk_dc_1



The key phrase in the article is:

"Children who drank more than three servings a day were 25 percent more
likely to become overweight than those who drank two to three servings a
day."



But this fact will get pushed aside to make it more 'sensationalized' that
milk causes childhood obesity...

I'd say Happy Meals, donuts & sweets, coupled with hours spent in front of
the TV/PC/games console have more to do with childhood obesity than milk.

I AGREE with Polar !!! IT IS NOT THE MILK but rather the TV plus
computer plus the terrible eating habits of the youth!!]
After all, I DIDN'T gain because of milk
I ate sweets plus too large of meals.

Please don't blame the milk !

Agreed - unfortunately the news is no longer the news - instead it is an endless stream of mostly incorect information often with an economic motive.
