Camp looks at calcium, weight in adolescents
Morgan Leaming in The Exponent reports:
Researchers on campus are studying how increased calcium and dairy consumption affects weight maintenance and loss in adolescents through a summer program called Camp Calcium.
“This is a hot new topic,” said Berdine Martin, camp director and research associate in the department of foods and nutrition. “No one ever thought calcium affected weight loss.”
Weight loss, however, is not the goal of the camp.
