Could Low-Fat Milk Be Worse for You Than Whole Milk?

By Dietdoctor @DietDoctor1
TheGuardian: Could low-fat be worse for you than whole milk?

Clearly the answer is yes, and expert after expert line up in the article to say goodbye to the outdated fear of saturated fat.

Unfortunately the article ends with a silly quote from Marion Nestle. "It does not matter" what milk you drink, she says, as long as the rest of your diet is "reasonable". This could even be interpreted as including the common flavored milks with more sugar than soda. Nestle then tops it off with the biggest cliché of the field.

Perhaps Nestle is feeling bad about having recommended skim milk during an entire career, I don't know. But using that argument you can eat any garbage at any time, with the excuse that the rest of your diet is probably "reasonable" anyway.
