Are you still drinking low-fat milk?

And if you are, then I must say that you are making a big mistake.


Full cream milk contains a number of fats that promote human health. These include artery friendly omega-3's and conjugated linoleic acid (read cancer prevention), improving bone strength and encouraging fat metabolism. Low-fat diary does not have any of this scientific sh** that helps you. Also, the trans-fat that is present in milk actually reduces your risk of diabetes.

An Australian study (I don't know but I read about this in a magazine) has determined that full-fat diary actually lowers the risk of heart disease as well. Its the other processed stuff that we eat which causes problems - not milk!!!

Vitamins A and D which are present in milk are fat-soluble - which means that you need fat in order for those to absorbed into your body. You take the fat from the milk, how do you think the vitamins will get absorbed? What's more, the vitamin K found naturally in butterfat gets left behind altogether.

Skim and low-fat milk contain powdered milk, which is made with oxidised cholesterol, a carcinogen. Oxidised cholesterol can contribute to the build-up of plaque in your arteries. On the other hand, untreated cholesterol in whole milk is an antioxidant. Skim can leave you feeling unsatisfied, which leads many people to fill up on less-healthy "non-fat" foods.

Full fat or full cream milk is not going to stop your weight loss or get-fit process. Its only going to help. What is going to hinder is that extra sugar, chocolate, processed food, fried food, coke etc. Get that out of your way and don't bother about milk again in your life.
