Pubmet doesn't agree that whole milk has good fats

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001224/

But wikipedia claims that recent research blames artificial trans fats, not natural cis fats, for artery disease.

And skim milk tastes better than the fatty stuff. It turns out that taste is subjective and modifiable based on life experience. (That is why coffee is tolerable to adults)




Fat composition is affected by the diet of the cow. Grain fed dairy cows yield milk that's lacking in Vitamin K2. K2 is essential for regulating delivery of calcium in the body. Free calcium without K2 contributes to atherosclerosis (and other mis-placed calcium issues) without necessarily contributing to bone and dental health.

Also, most of the vitamins in milk are in the fat, which people usually remove.
