A member asked:
Is low-fat milk any healthier than whole milk for an adult?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not any healthier: Most studies show that lactose intake for adults is not advisable. The amount of fat and the type of fat found in animal milk is more likely to cause harm than good. Perhaps it is safe in very small amounts but otherwise it's best avoided.
