I buy plain lowfat yogurt in large containers (really cheap) and feed it like clabber to the chickens. The cultures are great for their gut...

I am also always searching out full fat plain organic yogurt. You can find it but it takes a search. Everyone thinks low- or nonfat is the bees’ knees, but it’s only sugar. And sugar is far worse than fat.

We don't eat any low-fat dairy products. We've also eliminated anything labeled fat-free, low-cal, and sugar-free. Other than our regular exercise schedules, we haven't had to watch our weight at all since ditching typical “health food.” My son and I both eat full fat yogurt and love it. He actually gets it out of the fridge and brings it to me. How many three-year-olds ask for plain Greek yogurt?

I worked with a woman who dropped all fat from her diet including meats. She developed asthma. Gave me a beautiful cat she thought she had become allergic to. I think if you don’t get enough of the right fats your mucous membranes aren’t protected and those fats contain vitamins A and D and whatever else to do a complete job. I’ve never convinced anyone I thought needed this.

Wait a minute - I thought all of these issues could be attributed to vaccinations?

The researchers suggest that non-fat related nutrient components in the yoghurt may play a part in increasing this risk.

How about the more obvious: there is a certain amount of dietary fat and cholesterol that infants require both pre- and post-birth for adequate development of the nervous and immune systems.
