The 4% of fat that is in whole milk contains 100% fat. A pork chop with its lean part removed does not contain 100% fat. Yeah I can play with statistics too. Cholesterol build up within the body comes from over consumption of saturated fat. Eating a correctly balanced diet should and must have a level of both saturated and unsaturated fats if we dont eat saturated fat we die – fact! I eat a healty diet – and it includes a portion of whole milk. But, here we will agree. My intake is about 125g per day(about 5g satfat). I read that the average active man should take about 25g of satfat per day. 1/8th of a 250g block of butter contains about 25g of satfat.

Up to the early part of the 20th century we consumed a large amount of full fat in unpasteurised milk plus loads of animal fats with heart attacks and cholesterol not being a problem. OK people were slim so exercised away the fat but it shows there is far more to this issue than milk fats, saturated fats and cholesterol. I am certain in years to come this incomplete knowledge passed of as expert is therefore “pseudo science” and will be regarded as rubbish.
Likely culprits are manipulation of fats in food processing via hydrogenation, pasteurisation, trans fats etc.

Skim milk tastes so watery !
I’m satisfied 1% milk, I’m not afraid to have a little fat in my diet.

Really? Whole Milk? This is your target problem for soceity? I had a woman not too long ago who when I tried to order a WHOLE milk drink rather than a 2% tell me that it was bad for me. This was from a woman sucking down a 32oz diet coke. I’ll take a natural product over some man-made zero cal crap any day. If you enjoy whole milk just make sure you get off the couch once a day and take a walk, you’ll be fine. I can think of far worse things a person could eat/drink over milk. People should worry about the big rocks (twinkies, mc donalds, etc.) before worrying about the pebbles. What’s next butter? Every subsitute for that has been found to be MORE dangerous than the natural product it replaced. We humans, we’re so brilliant, we’re stupid.
