>The fat in the milk minimizes the impact of the sugar in the milk when it hits your body.

You guys, this sounds like some pretty hard science.

Also, the study mentioned about children and skim milk was a longitudinal study, and in the conclusion the authors recognized that it is likely that parents give their children lower fat milk because they're obese, not the other way around.

Edit: Also, the list of "disguised corn" is hilariously misguided. Those are predominantly highly refined compounds that are produced from corn (except for some like lecithin, which mostly comes from soybeans, but I digress), and there the resemblance to corn ends. Saying propylene glycol is "disguised corn" is like saying that paper is "disguised sunlight".

Is the author trying to convince us that corn contains some kind of pig-fattening essence, and that essence is somehow passed to any product derived from it?
