Those who drank more than three eight-ounce servings of milk a day gained the most weight, even after the researchers took into consideration factors such as physical activity, other dietary factors and growth. The association held, even though most of the children were drinking low-fat milk.

"That was surprising," Berkey said. "Apparently this applies to any kind of milk."

More than three glasses. Not any, but More than three glasses. Aren't kids who drink that much likely to be over-consumers in general and therefore likely to be fat? Not necessarily because of the milk. Three glasses is quite a lot. My kids are milk drinkers, but I doubt they manage that much each day. One on the cereal, one when they get home from school and maybe one with dinner.

You didn't mention who funds the group producing this reasearch. soy milk producers, perhaps?
