Approximately 60% of adults and 30% of children in Canada are overweight or obese and 15% suffer from the metabolic syndrome, which includes high blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. The prevalence of obesity and overweight in our population has doubled over the past 25 years, while per capita milk consumption has decreased by 20%. A majority of Canadians do not consume the recommended two to three servings per day, as recommended by Canada's Food Guide. In recent years many population studies have associated higher dairy consumption with healthier body weights and reduced risk of developing high blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol. The overall goal of our research is to explain the latter association. We aim to describe the effects of traditional and innovative milk and dairy products, consumed alone or with meals, on food intake, blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol and their regulation in healthy body weight, overweight and obese adults and children. Several experiments toward that goal are described in this proposal. We anticipate that the results will lead to a new understanding of the health benefits and the mechanisms of action of milk in providing these benefits. By providing scientifically sound evidence for communicating health benefits of milk beyond its traditional role of providing nutrients, it is expected that consumption will increase. In addition, by understanding the effect of milk and its components on physiologic systems regulating food intake and metabolism, we can encourage the development of new products that enhance the benefits. The results have potential benefits to not only the consumer and the reduction of health care cost, but also to the complete value chain from producer to consumer

加拿大大约60%的成年人和30%的儿童超重或肥胖，15%患有代谢综合征，包括高血糖、高血压和高胆固醇。在过去的25年里，我国人口中肥胖和超重的患病率翻了一番，而人均牛奶消费量下降了20%。大多数加拿大人并没有按照《加拿大食物指南》的建议，每天食用两到三份。近年来，许多人口研究都将较高的乳制品消费量与更健康的体重以及降低患高血糖、高血压和高胆固醇的风险联系起来。我们研究的总体目标是解释后一种关联。我们的目的是描述传统和创新的牛奶和乳制品，单独或与餐一起食用，对食物摄入量，血糖，血压和胆固醇的影响，以及对健康体重，超重和肥胖成人和儿童的调节。本提案中描述了实现这一目标的几项实验。我们预计，这些结果将导致对牛奶的健康益处和提供这些益处的作用机制的新理解。通过提供科学合理的证据，宣传牛奶的健康益处超出其提供营养素的传统作用，预计消费量将增加。此外，通过了解牛奶及其成分对调节食物摄入和代谢的生理系统的影响，我们可以鼓励开发新产品，提高效益。研究结果不仅对消费者和降低医疗成本具有潜在的好处，而且对从生产者到消费者的整个价值链也具有潜在的好处
