Adolescent girls who consume more calcium weigh less

preschool children. They can be explained, says Dr. Novotny, by the fact that as calcium intake increases, the body increases its ability to break down fat and decreases fat synthesis.

Dr. Novotny believes these are significant findings, because 15 percent of all children and teens in the United States are considered obese. High body fat contributes to many common diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer and diabetes. While caloric intake and physical activity remain imperative for maintaining weight and body fat during adolescence, Dr. Novotny says this study suggests that fairly small changes in calcium intake would have a positive effect.
