Dairy Foods in a Moderate Energy Restricted Diet Do Not Enhance Central Fat, Weight, and Intra-Abdominal Adipose Tissue Losses nor Reduce Adipocyte Size or Inflammatory Markers in Overweight and Obese Adults: A Controlled Feeding Study

Randomized Controlled Trial

Human

2011

The study didn’t measure anything about how the body uses energy after eating (RER), so we can’t say whether dairy changed it or not — the claim can’t be checked with this research.
