Skim milk has it drawbacks too at least for Americans, always has added vitamins ( unless it’s raw ). Whole you can find brands without even vitamin d added
Needless to say that’s tragic...Yah, I guess it depends on what you want to limit. Ideally, I'd have a cow and I'd run that milk through a separator. I'd use the cream to make butter, cheese, ice cream, etc. I had a goat that gave birth a couple months ago, so I would have goats milk by now, but my barn caught on fire and she and her kids died, along with a ewe and her two lambs and a 6 month doe . Well, the doe didn't die, but she was badly burned so I killed her. She was a beautiful goat too. Anyway, maybe I'll rebuild and get a cow.
If you don't eat liver, isn't whole milk necessary for fat-soluble vitamins?
@RWilly , but doesn't Ray Peat recommend saturated fats? I mean, if we avoid saturated fats and avoid PUFAs, then basically, we'd be doing a really low fat diet?

Some studies show inverse associations between full-fat dairy and certain non-communicable diseases, like CVD, but others show no association at all. In one of his articles, Dr. Peat points out that those who prefer skim milk already may have a predisposition toward being overweight, and they then reduce their caloric intake through their preference for low-fat dairy products. Those who believe in the causal relationship between saturated fat and cancer will substitute dairy fat with the more harmful fats. For instance, such people will consume skim milk and not use butter, but in their place, they will substitute with polyunsaturated oils and possibly trans fats, such those found in margarine.Because they drink gallons per day. If you drink sane amounts whole milk is vastly superior. There are studies of skim vs. whole and skim milk drinkers die much sooner.
For me it's about minimizing intake of estrogens and growth hormone, which are fat-soluble and thus mostly in the cream
The fattiest milk I'll drink is 1%; anything above that and I can actually get perceptible brain fog from a 12 oz. glass, but I could drink a whole gallon of skim milk and feel perfectly fine
