ATTENTION: HAVE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW TRIED THE " DRINK MILK-LOSE

WEIGHT " DIET AND NOT LOST WEIGHT?

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is working

to bring public attention to the false and misleading dairy industry

campaign claiming that eating dairy products helps you lose weight. We

are looking for individuals who purchased milk, yogurt, or cheese in

reliance on these ads and did not lose weight.

Adding dairy products to your diet is more likely to cause weight gain

than weight loss, and cow's milk has been linked to increased risk

of heart disease, cancer, and other serious health problems.

Nevertheless, the dairy industry is falsely asserting that drinking

cow's milk helps people lose weight. Clinical data shows this is not true.

PCRM would like to bring a lawsuit against the dairy

industry for false advertising. The lawsuit would seek compensatory

damages on behalf of an injured plaintiff and would use any information

obtained to alert the public about this false weight loss claim and the

health risks associated with dairy consumption. To bring this case, we

need someone who bought and consumed dairy products (milk, yogurt, or

cheese) to lose weight in reliance on these advertisements. If you or

someone you know fits into this category and is interested in helping,

please e-mail PCRM at dkinburn@... <mailto:dkinburn@...> or

contact PCRM Associate General Counsel Dan Kinburn at 202-686-2210 ext. 308.

Thank you so much for your help.
