High-Fat Dairy Products, Like Whole Milk And Cream, Can Lower Diabetes Risk

For a while I have been speaking against low-fat or non-fat dairy.  Finally, there is a clear study that shows that normal fat, which is known as high-fat dairy, lowers the risk of diabetes. Anything that lowers the risk of diabetes lowers the risk of heart disease but there are no studies for this one. 

High fat consumption can't be transferred to meats as those are shown to increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease. Both skim milk and whole milk contain about 12 grams of sugar.  As for fats, skim milk has less than 0.5% and 84 calories while whole milk has 3.5% fat and 146 calories.  With regards to dairy, the positive effect of drinking normal fat milk is most likely because fats are much better in creating satiety and possibly do not promote sugar cravings.

High-fat dairy lowered the risk of diabetes by 23%.  Eating fatty meats gives you more diabetes and heart disease. Just being more fatty doesn't help.  High calories obviously could not make the difference but the high fat does.  Skim milk is like a juice," sugar water", and as a result may increase more insulin production,  more sugar craving and more diabetes.  Just a theory.  The above article was presented in Vienna 1 week ago. Hey, enjoy all but real sour cream!
