Hi guys,

Just thought that I would chime in on the milk thing.

It is definitely about the negative effects of low fat not so much that full fat is good. I believe that researchers couldn't be sure why it had a negative effect on fertility but it did. It could be to do with the chemical structure of milk being altered by the de-fatting process?

However if you do consume low fat products incl ice cream, milk yoghurt you can counteract some of the negative effect (25%?) by having a serve of full fat dairy as well. This research was published earlier this year and was widely reported a 2-3 months ago.

I switched to full fat but I (try) to keep serves small, I am not a milk fan but I have full fat when I do have it, in coffee which I have cut back on too.
We only use organic dairy and on the whole all organic cheeses are simple full fat or naturally low fat cheeses like quark, feta, and boconcinni. I find organic yoghurt is delicious and great for calcium and tummy flora!
