Milk has a lot of calories. You drink a lot of it and of course it could tip the balance. But everyone has to go to extremes on stuff.

The dairy council says low fat milk helps you lose weight. Other people say don't touch it cuz it'll make you fat. It's all a little ridiculous. Milk causes an insulin spike that is disassociated with it's GI rating. Could this be bad news for some people? I suppose. Will drinking 1 or 2 glasses of milk a day make you fat or derail your fat loss plans? I doubt it. Just have to be moderate like everything else.

Interestingly there is some evidence that low fat milks like skim and 1% are MORE likely to lead to fat gain than whole milk. All fats are not created equal so this may be because the fatty acids in milk assist your body in mobilizing fat. I'm not saying whole milk is a diet aid, however just that there is no reason to assume it's worse than low fat.

To me, the decision to drink milk lies with the individual. I could drink tons of it and not see any fat gain whereas another person may get "soft" on even a moderate amount.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
