"When there is adequate calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium in the diet, PTH is kept to a minimum. When PTH is kept low, cells increase their formation of the uncoupling proteins, that cause mitochondria to use energy at a higher rate, and this is associated with decreased activity of the fatty acid synthase enzymes."

The fat in milk serves no purpose in this context. It's the calcium that's important. Skim milk provides calcium, casein, and lactose, but the fat is unnecessary. If steroid hormones are made from cholesterol, and the liver makes cholesterol, then there is no need to eat high amounts of fat in hopes that fat will be converted into cholesterol for hormone production.
"Sweet fruits will usually bring cholesterol levels up to normal" says Peat. So fat serves no purpose for hormone production.
