Have you sworn off whole milk? Why that could be a big mistake

Got whole milk?  

Most Americans have been convinced that whole milk and other dairy fats will make us fat - but it turns out just the opposite may be true. Nutrition scientist Mario Kratz says several studies have shown that people who eat more dairy fat actually tend to be leaner and gain less weight over time. There is more and more evidence showing high fat dairy foods are actually better for us than the low-fat variety – in moderation of course. 

Reduced or non-fat milk is fine for recipes which already have plenty of fat from other ingredients. But if you use milk in your coffee or cereal – whole milk is the way to go. The same goes for full-fat cheese and yogurt.
