If I drink whole milk I feel like I'm drinking cream, although I do cook
with cream occasionally or half & half. I'm used to skim milk and have been
for 20 years. Even 2% to drink bugs me a little bit. Interesting to note
skim has more calcium than whole milk. I gather it has something to do with
the milk fat inhibiting absorbtion of calcium. But I'm not a doctor, nurse,
nutritionist nor dietition so please don't ask me to site sources. I read
it someplace or was told about it by a medical professional at some point.
