Background Dietary energy density (DED), or energy available in relation to gram intake, may inform disease risk. Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the association between baseline DED and risk of incident type 2 diabetes in postmenopausal women. Design DED, weight status, and type 2 diabetes incidence were prospectively characterized in a large cohort of postmenopausal women participating in one or more clinical trials or an observational study. Participants/Setting The study involved 161,808 postmenopausal women recruited to the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) observational study or clinical trials at forty centers across the U.S. between 1993 and 1998. Main Outcome Measures The primary outcome was incident type 2 diabetes. Statistical Analyses Performed The association between DED quintiles and incident diabetes was tested using Cox proportional hazards regression. Results A total of 143,204 participants without self-reported diabetes at enrollment completed baseline dietary assessment and were followed for 12.7 ± 4.6 years. Risk of developing diabetes was 24% greater for women in the highest DED quintile compared with the lowest after adjusting for confounders (95% confidence interval: 1.17, 1.32). BMI and waist circumference mediated the relationship between DED and diabetes. In waist circumference-stratified analysis, women in DED quintiles 2–5 with waist circumferences >88 cm were at 9–12% greater risk of developing diabetes compared to women with waist circumference ≤ 88 cm. Conclusions In this prospective study, a higher baseline DED was associated with higher incidence of type 2 diabetes among postmenopausal women, both overall, and in women with elevated waist circumference.

“…The amount of milk and milk products (and other food groups) is determined by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans Advisory Committee (DGAC) 5 (6) on the basis of 1) intakes of the food groups needed to achieve the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) for essential nutrients without exceeding energy needs and 2) the evidence for the relation of intake of food groups and relevant health outcomes. In an iterative process, food intake pattern modeling and interpretation of the evidence on the relation to health developed the food intake patterns for MyPyramid/MyPlate (6,7). The 12 patterns developed for various energy and nutrient needs of different age and sex groups were created to meet the DRIs for that subpopulation and guidance from evidence-based reviews.…”

This review examined the evidence behind dietary guidelines for dairy. Most countries recommend consumption of dairy products; and when amounts are specified, recommendations are typically for 2 or 3 servings per day. Specific recommendations for dairy products are based partly on culture and availability but primarily on meeting nutrient requirements. Dairy products are a rich source of many minerals and vitamins as well as high-quality protein. Thus, dairy consumption is a marker for diet quality. A recent report found that yogurt specifically is a good marker of diet quality. The food patterns recommended by the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans Advisory Committee (DGAC) include 3 cups of low-fat milk and milk products. Few people achieve their recommended intakes of several shortfall nutrients without meeting their recommendations for dairy. The evidence for a benefit of dairy consumption is moderate for bone health in children but limited in adults and moderate for cardiovascular disease, blood pressure, and diabetes and limited for metabolic syndrome. Newer data since the recommendations of the 2010 DGAC are presented. However, the strength of the evidence for dairy consumption and health is limited by the lack of appropriately powered randomized controlled trials.

“…A 3-year cohort study conducted in Spain of 5,201 women, aged 65 or older, found that calcium intake from dairy products of less than 250 mg/day was independently associated with risk of fracture in this population [81]. The 2005 DGAC also found, through the use of food pattern modeling, that recommendations for potassium as well as for calcium, at most calorie levels, could not be reached until patterns were adjusted to include three cups of milk per day [71,82] [68,79]. Additionally, Gao et al [83], using NHANES 2001-2002 data, showed that diets could not be constructed that simultaneously met adolescent calcium needs and were dairy-free.…”

Bone health is the resultant of bone mass, bone architecture, and body mechanics. Nutrition supports all three components, with the principal nutrients concerned being calcium, protein, and vitamin D. Potassium, magnesium, zinc, and several vitamins are also involved to varying extents. Given modern food sources, it is difficult to devise a diet that is "bone healthy" without including three servings of dairy per day, not just because of dairy calcium, but dairy protein and potassium as well.
