Lack of calcium makes you fat?

Quebec researchers have decided not to be complacent and started looking for all risk factors for obesity and overweight.

They found a dozen, which can promote an imbalance between intake and energy expenditure. But after being followed for 6 years, families of men and women aged 18 to 64 years, they were able to retain only four acting directly on weight: a short sleep duration, low intakes of calcium, no restrictions in food and, conversely, restrictive eating behaviors.

Over the past decade, the researchers said, studies suggest that low calcium intakes increase the risk of overweight and stress the importance of a diet rich in dairy products.

Other micronutrients such as zinc, magnesium, vitamins C and E may also be involved in abdominal obesity.

Lack of exercise and a diet are not enough to explain everything. Hence perhaps the modest results of efforts to stem the obesity epidemic, say doctors in Quebec.
