Anyone else concerned with how much Saturated fat is in whole milk?

I realize she has different needs, but this is the same saturated fat that clogs arteries, right? I wouldn't think it mattered if you had it when you were a toddler or an adult. [ Reply | More

Okay, I was just concerned. I don't mind healthy fat (olive oil, nuts, avocados, fat in eggs, etc.) but just looking at the label on the whole milk threw me a bit. Thanks [ Reply | More

Thanks everyone. I did a little Google research. Our low-fat culture is a bit out of whack! Interesting. http://www.westonaprice.org/children/babybooks.html [ Reply | More
