The report makes no mention of those who consume “high fat”, or regular milk. There’s a lot of evidence that regular milk is better for you which is often given anecdotal support by the fact that farmers feed low fat milk (which makes it high in milk sugars) to fatten pigs, which is just as you would expect given the dangers of too many carbohydrates.

I think that if you were breast fed the High Fat milk that you ate has doomed you to an early death. Dairies love low fat milk, more cream, high value product.

Doesn’t the study imply that drinking milk and dairy products is good for you,? The current fad is towards lowfat milk and the authors are stressing lowfat without offering evidence for the benefit of low fat over plain milk.

I’m not shooting the messenger, but am curious about the article. Weber Shandwick is a PR firm — wonder if the American Dairy Association are clients? Who is the author of the study (I am assuming they are citing a study)? Who funded the study? Just call me cynical.

I'll keep drinking my 4 gallons of whole milk a week even if it kills me!

I had all the watered chalk during WW2 that I ever want to see!

milk protein, vitamin D, magnesium and calcium may contribute to milk's potential heart health benefits.

Ya think?
