Hi Blayz,
Milk is ok, it's just the low fats milk thats a worry, apparently....I try to stick to full fat or skim milk and steer clear of light/lowfat/no fat. I've drank "lite" pretty much all my adult life so I hope the effect doesnt last, I just switched about 6 weeks ago. There were a lot of stories about the research about around them, you could google it for more info.
Trans fats are apparently hidden in lots of foods like biscuits, cakes and sauces. ...I think they are used to give a certain texture or as a thickener, it's processed fat. The words "trans fat" only have to be listed on the ingredient list on "lite" products, because they need to break down the fat groups, otherwise it just come under vegetable oil or the like and looks harmless.
I think theres a push to change it so it must be listed.
It's also in fried foods too, I think it is used in deep fryers?? Not sure?

Sassba * I've read this alo. Scary hey!?
I LOVE milk as well, now I only have real milk in my tea and the occasional choc milk with my pie on a sunday and I only drink Dairy Farmers. I might start buying Skim Milk though forgot about the skimming part only etc.
goodluck everybody, moderation is the key , but, dno't waste money on all the fancy low fats.
low fat milk plus trans fat
