Summary

This study looks at whether whole milk or low-fat (1%) milk is better for preventing obesity in toddlers. Researchers will follow 625 children ages 1-2 for one year, measuring changes in waist size and body mass index. Families will be randomly assigned to give their child only whole or only low-fat milk. The goal is to find out which milk type supports healthy growth without promoting excess weight gain.
