  I heard that on NPR this morning too!
  I tend to find full fat dairy more filling and satisfying, which makes me eat less sugar.

  I decided recently that all the dairy in our house will be full fat hence forth.  Just watch the serving sizes, no biggie.

  Having GD was an eye opening experience. I could occasionally have a small breve (full fat cream) without a blood sugar spike but skim milk would shoot my sugar levels up.

  Yes, because it's full of added sugars that make it taste tolerable (and I'm being generous with that word).
  
  This isn't new news. Low fat stuff is crap because it's loaded in sugars to make it taste better. Fats don't make you fat- sugars do.
  
  
  I don't think there is added sugar in plain skim milk. Is that what you're saying here? I agree that fat free products (ice cream etc) generally have more sugar, but skim milk? No.

  SQUIRREL!!!

  We do either full fat or 2% and I am the only fat ass in my household.  I am also the only non-milk drinker.

  I've believed for a long time that fat doesn't make you fat and that whole fat foods and real food like butter is good for you. Yay butter!

  I have been preaching real butter and whole milk to my family and friends for ages.  

  
  

  My friend likes Country Crock, or as I like to call it, Country Crap.  I routinely butter shame her.
