Why Skim Milk?

[Antonello]

For me it's about minimizing intake of estrogens and growth hormone, which are fat-soluble and thus mostly in the cream

The fattiest milk I'll drink is 1%; anything above that and I can actually get perceptible brain fog from a 12 oz. glass, but I could drink a whole gallon of skim milk and feel perfectly fine

From fresh or UHT skin milk?

low fat milk -> high vegetable oil -> diabetes ?

If you stick to sane amounts, like <1 liter per day, certainly use the milk with as little processing as possible. Raw milk superior, but sadly not available for the majority of people. Not homogenized whole milk is good. At this stage of processing the only negative is the flash pasteurization. The milk is not alive any more but it is mostly intact. When you start to homogenize and ripping out protein and fat you introduce all kinds of damage.

What about naturally homogenized goat milk?
