Nick: As far as the dairy part goes… even if it does help people to lose weight it’s a genetic mutation that has even allowed for them to consume it in the first place. We are not supposed to be able to tolerate lactose past infancy. They are freaks…plain and simple.

pdx-nummbers: And even if the dairy/weight-loss thing weren’t hooey (which I think it is) the research on it just claims that with dairy, the body eliminates more fat in feces than without dairy.  If you think about it, that’s really gross.  Eat dairy because you’ll shit out more of the fat that you eat.  I have a better idea: eat healthy and exercise!
