Dairy-loving Fat Whores, Rejoice!

We had this debate when the article came out, OP. You're LATE, as per usual.

It doesn't matter what the nutritional guidance is. In a few years it will be reversed.

Remember reading this argument in this book years ago.

Healthier is a non-specific, so somewhat useless description.

What is incontrovertible is that whole milk has something like 152 calories per cup vs. 85 calories in skim milk. An increase of at least 500 to 1000 calories each day will promote a one to two pound weight gain per week. It takes an extra 3500 calories to gain one pound of body weight. Over the course of one month, that's 0.6 lbs gained from drinking one cup of whole vs. skim milk. In one year, just by drinking whole milk that's 7.2lbs gained.

While the article suggests that studies seem to show that people who consumer dairy fat do not gain more weight, the math suggests that there must be other factors ceteris paribus.

R4 true, and I accounted for it. "If your total calories per day stay reasonable, no need to avoid full fat dairy!"

Obviously fat whores will overindulge to maintain and gain FAT.

Harvard Medical School recommends a daily mix of full fat and reduced fat dairy, such as a reduced fat milk drink and a full fat yoghurt.

If you can endure actual skim milk good luck to you, but there's not really that much difference between full fat and reduced fat milk. I mean, full fat milk is only 3.25% fat. (Double cream is 48% fat.)

I've been drinking skim milk for so long that whole milk is a bit too much. I really only use whole milk when I'm cooking something that requires milk.
