Because Canadian scientists now believe that starting the day with a high-protein milk meal could help keep type 2 diabetes at bay, and even help you to lose weight. A team from the human nutraceutical research unit at the University of Guelph (with the University of Toronto), have studied the effect of milk at breakfast on blood glucose levels and hunger.

Milk containing more protein also reduces appetite later in the day, compared with lower-protein dairy.
