Correct, on both posts. I have worked in healthcare. In every facility I have ever seen, there is a nutritionist and recommended diets and menus. You would think the workers and residents (where there are residents) would be fit and trim. Not so, the majority of both are obese after a year or two.

Milk also, we have been told for years to drink skim or lowfat (1%, 2%) The result? Calcium and vitamin d deficiencies, both of which cause major problems. We have a population of middle aged and elderly people with osteoporosis and brittle bones.

Like MO, these people do not know what they are talking about.

The problems from milk is that without the fat, there is a mal-absobtion created of both calcium and vitamin d.
