Dietary calcium prevents weight gain

“In general, our and previous studies do not show that calcium has a great effect on weight loss. The association is very moderate, but even though you find a modest correlation, there may well be sub-groups in the population for whom this correlation does not apply, and some for whom the correlation is stronger. This is, simply speaking, what we are looking at,” says Larsen, adding that scientists have so far only scratched the surface in this area.
