I think that low fat dairy is associated with lower blood pressure and reduced weight gain in epidemiological studies. Lactovegetarians have higher life-expectancy and better bone quality than vegans do. I am not promoting high use of dairy but sometimes the adverse effects are exaggerated.
"Low fat dairy" is a criminal sales conspiracy. When a certain portion of the fat is removed the volume in a qt. of milk is less than a quart, therefore more "low fat" milk must be added to make up the difference. Ergo, and increase in casein, hormones, etc. As for the volume of actual fat removed it is minimal as people wouldn't buy dairy that had a chalky tasted from all the calcium and no fat to make it all slippery and slidy. Actual low fat was tried years ago and was a bust sales wise. So the low fat is now measured by weight as opposed to volume.
Yes, low fat milk is denser in nutrients.
Sales of skim milk are just fine, thank you. Also, millions of tons of non-fat dry milk are sold to be used as ingredients in baked goods and other products.
Milk fat has always been measured by weight.

Why don't you consume ***ALL*** the milk and get back to us?

A rather bold assumption.
Too bad you don't specify what irks you. I could cite dozens of studies that say specifically that lipid peroxidation or ROS or free radical mediated processes or some other way to describe the same phenomenon is likely at the heart of "chronic disease," but you will never admit you made a mistake - you are more of a politician than a scientist (assuming you really do have any credentials).
