I'm kind of upset that anyone things drinking low-fat or skim milk is a good idea. Milk contains many fat-soluble nutrients. If you remove the fat, you remove the nutrients. Instead of low-fat milk, we should drink low-sugar milk. It is the milk sugar, lactose, that many people are intolerant to. If you want to get a feeling for how much sugar is in milk, try lactose free milk some time. It is made by introducing lactase which breaks the complex lactose down into simple galactose, and it tastes like a bowl of lucky charms. Recently I have switched to drinking half-and-half instead, when I want some milk. I may even try out heavy cream eventually. Half and half has less sugar and more fat than whole milk. Consuming fat is a great way to dampen the glycemic index of sugary foods, so I think heavy cream or half and half is a much better mate to cookies than regular milk would be. whole milk: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/69/2 http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/6... half and half: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/48/2 http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/4... heavy cream: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/51/2 http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/5...
