Whole Milk Better For You Than Skim, Study Suggests

Do you drink a latte or eat cereal in the morning? If so, you’ll want to read this new study.
Researchers say full fat dairy, like whole milk, may actually be better for you than skim milk.
They found that adults with high levels of full-fat dairy byproducts in their blood had a lower risk of developing diabetes.
It is not clear why, but experts say consuming high-fat foods keeps you fuller longer, so you may eat fewer calories overall each day.
“I think these findings together with those from other studies do call for a change in the policy of recommending only low-fat dairy products,” Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian tells Time.
“There is no prospective human evidence that people who eat low-fat dairy do better than people who eat whole-fat dairy.”
The Case Against Low-fat Milk Is Stronger Than Ever

If you're still drinking skim, read this
For years you’ve been told to go for skim over full-fat dairy. Even the latest dietary guidelines for Americans urge people to avoid the full fat, and following this lead, school lunch programs provide only low-fat milk and no whole milk at all, even though they do allow chocolate skim milk with its added sugars. But large population studies that look at possible links between full-fat dairy consumption, weight and disease risk are starting to call that advice into question. And some research suggests people who consume full-fat dairy weigh less and are less likely to develop diabetes, too.

In a new study published in the journal Circulation, Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian and his colleagues analyzed the blood of 3,333 adults enrolled in the Nurses’ Health Study of Health Professionals Follow-up Study taken over about 15 years. They found that people who had higher levels of three different byproducts of full-fat dairy had, on average, a 46% lower risk of getting diabetes during the study period than those with lower levels.
Since full-fat dairy products contain more calories, many experts assumed avoiding it would lower diabetes risk. But studies have found that when people reduce how much fat they eat, they tend to replace it with sugar or carbohydrates, both of which can have worse effects on insulin and diabetes risk.
She better drag the dairy industry. This is why I eat less and less meat each year. I've completely let go of red meat for the past 5 years and slowly I've made changes to not even include chicken or fish anymore
People are so uneducated when it comes to milk production. It's probably one of the most regulated industries in the United States and even more so in Europe.
Most all, that I'm aware of won't be made from powder!
No matter how it's made, it's 99.9% water most of the time and rest is colour. They are nutritionally bland, and I'm not even gonna mention the taste. Thin and tasteless.
A friend of a friend was drinking almost milk. I thought it was some healthy alternative. I looked at nutrition at the back and it was 0 for pretty much everything. I asked her why she was using it if it was pretty much coloured water for a premium price. She got offended and was picking fights with me all night.
What's the typical fat percentage of whole milk, sem skimmed etc. in the USA?
I ain't trying to get fat
the devil invented that ****
