CORRECTION TO WHOLE MILK INFORMATION ALERT


In a previous Action Alert (July 10, 2005) we described a study published in the
Archives
of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine as showing that low-fat milk is associated
with
weight gain but full-fat milk does not. This summary mischaracterizes the
study, which
did not find (or even look at) any association with full-fat milk and weight
gain.

The study did find, however, that dairy fat was not linked to weight gain, but
that
consumption of 1 percent milk in boys and skim milk in girls were significantly
associated with BMI gain, as was total dietary calcium intake.
The study stated that the amount of milk consumed had an impact on weight gain.

We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
