Right foods in, health out?

Not so fast, according to a new study which indicates that the correlation between drinking low-fat milk and obesity is slightly negative.  There is the obvious question of whether it's simply an issue of chubby parents choosing skim milk for their chubby kids, but there are also other questions to be addressed.  First of all, is it possible that whole milk provides satiation absent in skim, and hence skim milk tends to be accompanied by more foods than does whole milk?  Second, is it possible that parents allocate more food to their children when the milk they drink is skim--something of a "sin allocation"?

What I know in my own family is that my own children are porkers as babies, but slim down despite whole milk when they start walking.  This leads to a third possibility; drinking of skim milk correlates well to kids in situations where they spend hours each day parked in front of the idiot box. 

What is certain is that for diatetics to advance, they've got to get beyond the equation of food in, health out.  Hopefully this study helps.
