Skim milk was initially used to fatten pigs, but World War II dramatically increased demand for its production particularly powdered skim milk. However, after the war ended there was a surplus and so dairy producers convinced doctors to recommend it as a healthier alternative to whole milk.

However, research proves that whole milk was never really bad for you and actually has multiple health benefits:

Here Is What They Are Saying After Some Careful Research & Consideration… 

Whole milk actually means less obesity
Milk wasn't the only victim of the low-fat craze, which in general didn't do waistlines any favors. Some scientists in Sweden decided to get to the bottom of the milk misconceptions. They looked at the kind of dairy that 1,500 men had in their diets and were amazed to see that the dudes who didn't eat any butter and chose low fat were 50% more likely to develop a central obesity (essentially, a beer belly), while those who ate butter and drank whole milk were 50% less likely to get a gut, compared to men whose diets were in the middle. Central obesity is actually a really important measure, too, because it's strongly associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
What could explain these crazy results?! After all, whole milk doesn't just have more fat; it also has almost twice as many calories. However, whole milk also makes you more satiated, and where you get those calories from fat, you may not be getting them from carbs, which have recently stolen the show when it comes to cardiovascular disease.

More fat means more good stuff
Whole milk also contains a bunch of vitamins: A, D, E, and K. These particular vitamins are fat soluble, which means that your body absorbs them when they enter your digestive tract together with fat. In milk, the vitamins and the fat come in one nutritious package — Mother Nature knows what's up. When milk producers take out the cream, the vitamins come out with it, too, so they throw some supplements back in and call it a day. But these aren't the same natural vitamins coming from cows, and without the fat they're pretty useless anyway.

Bottoms Up!

So were you surprised to learn that skim milk isn't all that great after all? After years of hearing how much better it was for us than whole milk, we were stunned…but also glad to back to the rich, creamy goodness of whole milk! Which do you prefer?
