So far, everyone believes in the fact that drinking milk everyday is highly beneficial for health. It is considered as an important source of calcium which caters to the bone health.

A research conducted in Harvard regarding the consumption of low-fat milk’s health benefits, found that it was actually unhealthy to low-fat drink. They say that most of the low-fat milk are diluted with a lotartificial sweeteners which might have an adverse effect on your health.

Another research found that women who ate two or more servings of low-fat dairy foods per day, particularly skim milk and yogurt, increased their risk of infertility by more than 85 percent compared with women who ate less than one serving of low-fat dairy food per week.

Other researchers, therefore, suggest people to drink full-fat milk (natural) instead of the low-fat as they are processed and not natural.

It is also found that fat milk is suitable for people with heart disease and diabetes as well.

Also people with higher level of trans-palmitoleic found in fat dairy products were observed to find 60% lower risk of developing diabetes than those with the lowest levels. Yet another study showed that people who ate the most full-fat dairy had a 69% lower risk of cardiovascular death than those who ate the least.
