Poutine: my statement was in regards to lactose in general -- not yogurt. I agree that the probiotics in yogurt are good for your digestive system. I supplement that bacteria in pill form. As for studies showing that yogurt helps with weight loss, consider this: a LACK of calcium inhibits weight loss. My point being that if you are getting enough calcium then I do not believe eating yogurt will help you lose weight.
The bottom line here, IMHO, is sugar. The less sugars you can consume = the less spikes in your blood sugar levels = less insulin release = less stored fat. Honestly, I think the dairy industry funds these studies that say eating their products will help you lose weight.
