Good luck!

"The butterfat in milk contains vital fat-soluble vitamins needed for the
utilization of the protein and minerals in the water fraction of the milk.
Butterfat in milk works synergistically with the protein and minerals in
milk."

"Farmers know that the best way to fatten pigs is to give them skim milk--
pigs fed whole milk do not get fat. The metabolism of the pig is very
similar to the metabolism of the human."

"The rationale for giving children lowfat milk is that this measure will
help prevent heart disease in the future. However, there is absolutely no
evidence that heart disease can be prevented by
 denying important fats to
growing children. In fact, in a recent study, children on lowfat diets
produced the most atherogenic fraction of cholesterol (small, dense LDL-
cholesterol). The study indicated that lower-fat diets cause the very
problems such diets are supposed to prevent."
