New research from the Institute de Fromage et Sport, in Saint Nectare, France suggest that an all cheese diet can boost performance in sport by up to 60%.

The results of trials from a number of sports including football, rugby, swimming and petanque, as published in the most recent edition of the little-known French journal 'Science du Sport', suggests that the benefts of a cheese diet are felt in sports requiring both power and endurance, and the effect is explained due to an adaptation of the body to the overload of proteins and fat, aided by the bacteria that is present. Indeed, results were stronger in an experimental group fed only unpastuerised cheese than in both a pastuerised and a control group.

These results are thought to partially explain the otherwise inexplicable success of the French in sports such as rugby, football (soccer) and recently swimming. A spokeperson for Cheese Research And Production (International), Flo Porail, was quoted as saying "Whey!".
