So...a bit of milkfat may actually reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes.

It's only one study so far. But I must admit that when I was on Atkins, my triglycerides and cholesterol were the lowest on record. So...right now, thinking about keeping 100% butter, 100% clarified butter, 100% sour cream and 100% cream in the diet, in tiny doses.

But milk and alas, cheese, will be a rare occurrence.

Furry lobsters are still off the menu....

I'd say that for some people, it's fine. But if you think about it, the best milk is our own mother's milk, whatever creature we are -- and by the time we humans hit what once was adulthood (12-14) the ability to digest it goes away. Just as some people don't have the enzyme in their mouths to start breaking down carbohydrates. We evolved to fill a niche that we may no longer live in.

It's okay, as long as we figure out what works for us.
