Full-fat dairy products help weight loss

Adults can reduce their weight by consuming full-fat dairy products over time, a study has claimed.

Researchers studied over 19,000 women to find those who had at least one serving of whole milk or cheese a day put on less weight over nine years compared to the women who ate these foods occasionally.

Recent studies have suggested milk, yoghurt and other dairy might help regulate body fat because of the high calcuim content.

Health experts have warned the latest findings should not be taken seriously until there is more supporting evidence.
