I thought this info was a given and that everybody knew it. Here it is.

As far as the link between obesity and fatty foods, I am assuming there aren't any questions about that.

Milk:
What about fat and cholesterol?

Despite its old-time reputation as being the perfect food, milk – at least in its unadulterated "whole" state – is extremely high in fat. In fact, 49 percent of whole milk's calories come from fat. Reduced-fat (2 percent) milk isn't much better, with 35 percent of its calories coming from fat. Worse, most of this fat is saturated, the kind that clogs your arteries. A cup of low-fat (1 percent) milk gets only 23 percent of its calories from fat, while skim milk (also called nonfat or fat-free) is the ultimate, with virtually no fat. Dairy milk contains significant quantities of dietary cholesterol (though nonfat has just 5 mg), while all of the milk alternatives are cholesterol free.

So my question is, where did Milk get this reputation as the perfect food? Wasn't that a SLOGAN for the DAIRY INDUSTRY at one point? I think it was.
