Subject: This Kind of Fat Makes You SLIMMER

Dear  I grew up in the 1970s with a well-intentioned mom who looked out for her family. But like most folks back then, her idea of being health-conscious was to follow the advice she heard on TV. That meant the only milk she bought was that watery, skim milk that had that "blue tinge" to it. To this day, my mother is horrified at the thought of fat in her milk, cheese or yogurt.  But the "evil fat" she and so many other Americans fear is actually your best insurance AGAINST heart disease and diabetes. And as for weight loss, full-fat dairy helps you stay slim. Let me explain.  Low-fat Dairy Leads To Weight Gain and Heart Disease Dieticians, government agencies and my mother all think low-fat dairy is "diet food."  But farmers know better. They feed pigs skim milk to FATTEN them up. That's because when you remove fat from milk, you're left with lactose, a natural sugar. When you eat full-fat dairy, the fat slows the sugar so it doesn't go straight into your bloodstream. But without the fat, all that milk sugar rushes into your blood, driving up insulin levels.  And since insulin is your fat storage hormone, you start building up fat reserves. And that turns your waistline into a "beer belly" in nothing flat. But the problem isn't just what they take out of milk. It's what they put in skim milk that makes it downright dangerous. You won't see it on the label but all low-fat dairy contains nonfat dried milk. It sounds harmless enough but the high heat used to produce nonfat dried milk oxidizes the cholesterol in the milk. It's that oxidized cholesterol in low-fat dairy that forms plaque in your arteries.1 Top 5 Reasons to Switch to Full-Fat Dairy Science is finding more and more health benefits from the fats in milk. Here are just five reasons you should enjoy whole dairy. Reduce risk of death from heart disease. In a 16-year study of 1,529 Australians, those who ate more full-fat dairy had a lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease.2 Reduce colon cancer risk. In a Swedish study of more than 60,000 women, those eating 4 or more servings of full-fat milk, cultured milk, cheese, cream, sour cream, or butter every day had a 60% lower risk of colorectal cancer.3 Lower diabetes risk. Harvard researchers discovered that trans-palmitoleic acid, a naturally occurring fat, substantially reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. It's not produced by your body and only comes from foods like milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter.4 Improve digestion. Whole milk is associated with fewer bad stomach bugs. One study found that kids who drink low-fat milk have 3 to 5 times more frequent diarrhea.5 Support weight loss. Another Swedish study of more than 19,000 women found that eating at least one serving of whole fat dairy per day was associated with lower body mass index.6   Wishing you strength and vitality, Jason Kennedy   1 Ron Schmid, ND, "The Untold Story of Milk," NewTrends Publishing, Inc. 2009 2 M Bonthuis, M C B Hughes, T I Ibiebele, A C Green and J C van der Pols, Dairy consumption and patterns of mortality of Australian adults, European Journal of Clinical Nutrition 64, 569-577 (June 2010), doi:10.1038/ejcn.2010.45 3 Susanna C.
