"Whole" or "skim" - eventually it may make much less of a difference than either low-fat or high-fat proponents may still believe.... that is if you're young and healthy and not doing the "1 gallon o' milk"-routine, bro ;-) Now that more and more people begin to get that eggs are not toxic cholesterol bombs, it's about time that scientists re-address the myth that putting the "whole" in the "milk" would have serious health consequences... oh, wait: Eventually, Sara Engel and colleagues from the  University of Copenhagen  found statistically sign. health consequences - allegedly heart-healty ones! More specifically, the authors observed that only 3-weeks on whole vs. skim milk will significantly elevate the HDL levels of 18 healthy adults who were randomly assigned to a sequence of treatments consisting of 0.5 L/d of whole milk and skimmed milk as part of their habitual diet.

I don't know if you have listened to my "brother" Carl Lanore's Super Human Radio interview with Boyd Eaton , yesterday, but if you did, you will probably remember that the two also broached the issue of dairy consumption on a paleo diet. And while many of you may have been surprised to hear that Eaton does consume milk products on a regular basis, it is probably even more intriguing that the show came full-circle only a couple of minutes later, when Carl who had just addressed the issue of iron-overload and how that relates to the relative abundance of meat in an ancestral diet, read my facebook message about the beneficial effects of milk proteins, Zunquin et al. observed in a 2006 trial rodent trial intended to simulate the potential side effects of high dose iron supplementation to replete iron stores in iron-depleted ...
