It's annoying when a consensus is overturned. We follow gov. advice and if it changes all we can do is change with it.

Or perhaps decide for ourselves maybe?

Yes another study that shows we should change with it

Agree we should decide for ourselves.. had 2uncles and aunt who lived to. 93 eating full fat milk, butter and bread, meat and potatoes every day.. 🤷‍♀️

I know plenty of people like this.

They all eat much the same thing. As you describe.
The other thing they all have in common, is that they do not overeat. Nor have many snacks. They are too full from their main meals[without overeating].

I am about 20 years past deciding for myself.

Eggs was the one that did it for me.
Eggs not healthy? Yeah right. Not.

I've never stopped drinking full fat milk. Full fat milk contains 4%fat which at one time was considered the threshold for a low fat food. I much prefer eating and drinking food that has had the least processing as possible.

Agreed.

Though I dont always stick to that.

Never gave up full fat milk.

I've always bought 2% skimmed; anything less tastes watery to me. I did give my kids full fat milk up until they were about 6 years old, then converted.

I hate when 'they' backtrack on advice, remembering the 80's when we were told butter was bad for us and we should have margarine instead. I never gave up my butter!

I am mildy lacto-intolerant so this new edict will have no effect on me. I will still not be consuming milk, cream cottage cheese, cream cheese or yoghourt in any form.

Thankfully I can eat hard cheese.

Lacto free milk is excellent Monica, and has the huge advantage of lasting longer than ordinary milk. I don’t like full fat milk, it brings back memories of school milk with that disgusting yellowish fatty top in the summer. The thought of it still turns my stomach.

My Granny always had gold top milk 😋
She lived until she was 98.
She had her gall bladder removed but I can't remember any other health problems.

I have recently returned to full cream after many years of fully skimmed. Straight consumption is a joy but the coffee sensation is taking a bit of getting used to. I'm toying with reverting in that arena but will persevere just a little longer as I don't remember any difficulty when I first moved to FS many years ago.

DH always prefers full-fat milk whereas I have semi-skimmed.

I use skimmed in tea but full fat for cereal and everything else.

Know what you mean.. also buy semi skimmed and hated it at first… but with my AD telling me that I repeat myself over and over again and making up words… thought I’d better keep up with the Healthy milk👌

We’ve been drinking skimmed milk for years due to being told that drinking full fat milk would be bad for us. Hated skimmed milk to start with but got used to it, now I don’t like the taste of full fat milk in my coffee/tea. 🧐
