The Full-Fat Paradox: Dairy Fat Linked To Lower Diabetes Risk
"The new findings add to the evidence suggesting that full-fat dairy may have protective effects — both in cutting the risk of diabetes and helping people control body weight."

annefood 9yr Very interesting! I ate a ton of nonfat milk as a child and now can't digest cow dairy products. I've heard the two are correlated, and that drinking whole milk is better for many many reasons. Thanks for sharing! -

Riki 9yr Interesting and especially as I was going to change to low fat whole yogurt 😀 -
Yfalkson 9yr And to the title, this isn't a paradox, nor has the French diet been one. Fat (within reason) is healthy and needed, sugar, however, is what to avoid- which is often added to Skim milk so it isn't too terrible tasting.
-
lauren 9yr @Yfalkson I had no idea they added sugar to skim milk! I grew up drinking 2% so skim always tasted like water to me. -
annefood 9yr A lot of places add protein back in because it gets stripped out with the fat, but certainly not always. Small dairy farms often don't add anything back in- I had a talk with Straus Creamery about this a while ago. Their nonfat milk is pure.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr @annefood isn't there some rule that you can't call it 'skim' milk unless you add the protein back in? I may be making this up, but I feel like I read that somewhere. Also, i heard this from a chef: "Sugar is the new fat, and fat is the new delicious" =)
-
annefood 9yr @Rachna not according to the Straus folks- they say their process doesn't strip out the protein in the first place. But I don't know a lot about it other than what they told me about their creamery!

Ricky 9yr We were such a low-fat household growing up. I've switched to 1% recently, but the larger shift toward actually internalizing this continues. -
DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr Yea @ricky we were a skim household for so long... And reversing what was once thought of as truth definitely takes time. I remember avoiding peanut butter for that reason... Now I realize I should have avoided the bagels instead :)

annefood 9yr Same @Rachna !
