I guess what I'm trying to say is eat what you like, drink what you like - living "healthy" does'nt make you live longer, it just feels like it!!
I totally agree. Also, while the study mentioned in this thread was funded by pro-dairy institutes, there have been several other studies which have also shown that the whole "low-fat diet" thing is not backed up by any real evidence.
Each to their own I guess, but I personally would not even consider buying skimmed milk or 2% milk. I love milk but these "low-fat" varieties don't even taste like milk. Even so-called full fat milk these days tastes like it has been watered down. I routinely buy milk from a small dairy farm at a nearby Muslim village and it tastes superb; rich and full of cream, just as nature intended.
In my opinion, if anything, people should be far more concerned about eating processed foods than they are about eating full-fat foods. After all, our bodies are designed for eating food, but they are not designed for consuming a million and one chemicals.
I personally don't really eat many processed foods, not because of health concerns, but simply because I don't really like most processed foods, and those that I do like tend to be way too expensive for me to be eating on a regular basis. Also, since I I cook for my children, I try to make nutritious meals as often as possible, and yes, their diet includes full-fat dairy.
Eat what you want and be happy.

), I'm also qualified as a Process Engineer... I spent my early years testing on filtration equipment, different sites and samples you wouldn't believe. For example, working at an abattoir and seeing exactly what whent into various foodstuffs such as sausage, faggots etc. was eye opening....... healthy or not?
