True or False: Dairy Products Can Help Weight Loss

True.  The accuracy of this statement remains controversial.  There is a common belief that all dairy products cause weight gain probably because of the fat content of most natural dairy products.  However, recent research shows an inverse link between low fat dairy intake and body weight.  There are indications that certain dairy ingredients (e.g. Whey protein) and ingredient combinations (eg. Protein/calcium) can have a positive effect on toward a feeling of fullness, as well as other weight loss factors, which may assist weight loss.  This is only one of the reasons the R&D Diet Cookie is effective at helping you lose weight.
