Show Friday, March S. 2004 D A I I Y HERALD A9 Dairy i pods appear America: txirau to reduce risk of childhood obesity Daniel Q. Haney SAN FRANCISCO Youngsters who skimp on milk and other dairy food to avoid calories actually appear to substantially increase their risk of becoming overweight, a study found. Several rep jrts in recent years have shown health benefits of dairy products, despite their fat content. The latest research shows, an unusually striking effect on weight as children go through their teens. Pediatricians say too much weight is now the most common medical condition of childhood. The problem has doubled over the past two decades, and about 15 percent of children are now considered overweight or - While the overall cause is too much food and too little exercise, many studies are attempting to tease apart the precise changes in habits that are driving this health hazard. Several were reported Thursday at a meeting in San Francisco of the American Heart Association. Lynn Moore, an epidemiolo- - . gist at Boston University School of Medicine, found that just two servings of dairy food a day are linked to a substantial reduction in adolescent fatness. Childhood dairy intake has been failing for the last 20 years, in part as youngsters' preferences have switched from milk to soft drinks. During this time, soda consumption has risen by 300 percent. Another factor, though, has been fat phobia. Youngsters "consume less and less as they get older," Moore said. "Adolescent girls in particular ore concerned about eating dairy because they think it will make them fat." However, her research, based on the Framingham Children's Study, found just the opposite is true. The analysis was financed largely by the National Health, Lung and Blood Institute with additional funding from the National Dairy Council. Several studies including have shown that Moore's children and adults who consume adequate amounts of dairy foods have lower blood pressure. Some researchers have put adults on diets with increased dairy and found, to their surprise, that they also seem to lose weight. , Friday, March 5, at 7PM J- r - million albums sold world-- accomplished and beloved young composers.

J on f THE ASSOCIATED PRESS I1" usic In the latest study, the researchers did frequent dietary surveys on 106 families with children and followed them an average of 12 years. They judged body fat by measuring the skin thickness on four parts of their bodies. They found that those who consumed less than two servings a day averaged about an extra inch of fat in a fold of skin, a surprisingly large amount. The children's average skin fold thickness was 75 millimeters, while those who ate little dairy were 25 millimeters greater. Dr. Stephen Daniels, associate chairman of the heart center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, noted that the benefit was seen with a relatively modest amount of dairy food, and overdoing it could mean large amounts of extra fat calories. "You shouldn't take home from this that you need to eat as much dairy as you can, but it should be part of an overall healthy diet," he said. He also noted that no study has yet shown that adding milk to youngsters' diet actually helps them control weight. He said those who get regular dairy foods may weigh less bed cause they eat more meals or have breakfast each morning.
