The more I study about health/diet, the more it seems the old ways are best: eat your vegetables, drink your milk, eat whole-grains (gluten?), etc…
“children given skim or one-percent milk were more likely to become overweight and obese.”
The closer to zero-fat milk you go, “the more you eliminate fatty acid benefits,” he says. You also eliminate naturally occurring Vitamins A and D, which are then added synthetically. And you add powdered milk, which contains artery-hardening oxidized cholesterol, for “mouth feel.”
This makes skim milk a highly processed, additive-laden, synthetic, vitamin-laced beverage that – oh, yeah – has protein. Even Dr. Oz says skim milk increases weight because “once you take out the fat from milk, all you have left is sugar.”
