The Full-Fat Paradox

Last week, NPR's Morning Edition reported that dairy fats found in milk, yogurt, and cheese may help protect against Type-2 Diabetes. Read the full story here.  
There's a growing body of evidence challenging the notion that low-fat dairy is best.
"It appears that children who have a higher intake of whole milk or 2 percent milk gain less weight over time compared with kids who consume skim or nonfat dairy products [...] With all the new evidence that challenges the low-fat-is-best orthodoxy [...] it may be time to reconsider the National School Lunch Program rules, which allow only skim and low-fat milk."
Food milk for thought!
