Regular milk: The neurons (cells) of your kids brain uses cholesterol from their diet to form the insulation around brain connections. Too little cholesterol can lead to developmental delay.Concentrate on a balanced diet with a wide range of nutritious foods. The low fat idea was wrong when they started pushing it 50 years ago and its wrong now.
