Harvard Scientist Warns Against Low-Fat Milk: Here's Why

Before you start worrying that we're taking away all your food and drink options, remember this important principle: Even if the change isn’t coming tomorrow, it's essential that we stay informed, since awareness is part of the imperative to care for our health.

This research is among the most professional we've encountered, addressing the controversial topic of whether low-fat milk is healthy. Dr. David Ludwig, a researcher at the prestigious Harvard University in the U.S., an endocrinologist, and a leading authority on the subject, states that low-fat milk "jeopardizes your health due to the sugar added to it."

He explains that manufacturers add sugar to compensate for the unpleasant taste resulting from the removal of fat. But that’s not the only issue. "Low-fat milk includes additional components that threaten our health, commonly referred to as 'anti-nutrients'. These could even be pain relievers and other 'drugs'."

Dr. Ludwig published his findings, among others, in his book: 'Always Hungry', where he shares more research based on empirical science. "Forget everything you’ve been taught about dieting," he writes, explaining why traditional diets don't always work, and presenting a new, radical diet plan that helps you lose weight without hunger, improve health, and feel great.

"For over twenty years, I’ve been at the forefront of research into achieving controlled weight," says Dr. Ludwig. "Groundbreaking studies I’ve participated in prove that overeating doesn’t make you gain weight, and low-fat diets don’t lead to weight loss. What really matters in this equation is the chain reaction initiated in your body by your fat cells. Fat cells play a critical role in determining whether you gain or lose weight, and cutting calories only worsens the issue by creating a 'battle' between the brain and metabolism—one we’re likely to lose."
