UPDATE 2.7.24: Years after William Campbell Douglass defended milk’s health benefits in his book, The Milk Book, the House of Representatives has passed a bill to allow whole milk back in schools. The Senate hasn’t yet followed suit, but if it does, America’s children will once again be allowed to drink full-fat milk at school after they were denied that right by Michelle Obama’s school lunch debacle in 2010. The Hill’s Sarah Polus reports:
The House has passed a bill allowing whole milk to be served in school cafeterias for the first time since 2012.

The Milk Book – How Science Is Destroying Nature’s Neatly Perfect Food. Children are denied whole milk because pediatricians are obsessed with the cholesterol myth. These same gutless wonders don’t say anything about children drinking half-a-dozen bottles of Coca-Cola a day, stating before breakfast! But kids can’t get a decent glass of milk. Adding vitamin D to milk is a risky business. The New England Journal of Medicine reported many cases of vitamin D intoxication resulting from excessive fortification of commercial milk. Today, you can’t get a decent glass of milk. Even if you buy whole milk, thinking it is better than that sickly blue stuff called skim, you can’t win, because all of the commercial milk is homogenized. I am convinced that homogenization is even more detrimental to the nutritional quality of milk than the heat processing called pasteurization.
