Proper British Now - Day 55 by MarkAllanson, on Flickr
Yes, you read that right. Turns out…
The study showed that children who drink full-fat milk every day weigh on average just over 4 kg less.
As a matter of fact…
Children who often drink milk with a fat content of 3% are less overweight. The thesis shows also that the children eat more saturated fat than recommended, but those children who have a high intake of fat have a lower BMI than the children with a lower intake of fat.
Now, isn’t that interesting? Gee, fat intake, and specifically saturated fat intake doesn’t seem to correlate to obesity. Hm. I wonder if doctors and dietitians read Science Daily.

They may read it, but I’m sure it won’t change a thing in their minds. It’s going to take a LOT of work to convince the “health authorities” that they’re 100% wrong about saturated fat causing weight gain, heart disease, and everything else it’s falsely accused of causing. Too many people and organizations in positions of authority are dependent on Big Ag and Big Pharma to let the lies go easily.

Not all of us believe or teach what Big Ag and Big Pharma say.
