“Furthermore, skimmed and semi-skimmed cows’ milk is also less
nutritious than whole milk. That’s because the cream contains the
fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K – important, among other things, for
strengthening immunity to infections, neutralising the effects of
damaging free radicals and keeping bones healthy,” she says.
Nutritionist Zoe Harcombe agrees, arguing that saturated fats found in whole foods are “nutritional gold mines”.
“In simple terms, fats are chains of carbon atoms with hydrogen
atoms attached. We eat fat, it is digested and enters the bloodstream
where it transports the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K round the
body. This is partly why I find the idea of removing fat from
natural food ludicrous. Take full-fat milk – this contains all four
fat-soluble vitamins. If you take out the fat, you remove the delivery
system,” she says.
Other full-fat dairy advocates argue
that not all saturated fats are the same; some are good and some are
bad. Further, they argue they don’t clog our arteries and shoot straight
to our bellies in the way that most of us are led to believe. And if
you think this view is confined to a few isolated nutritional zealots,
it’s not. Scientists have also begun to question the prevailing view
that ordering a skinny instead of a full-fat latte is being kind to our
waistline.
