i use skim milk in my protein shakes, but otherwise won't touch the stuff. will you all shoot me if i confess to using whole milk in my cafe au laits?????

now, wouldn't that be a little extreme? Thanks everyone for the replies so far... anyone else out there, please take the poll and/or post! -Apryl

Jiff - I also have to have whole milk in my "fancy" coffee. Cappuchino with skim milk just isn't the same.....

Milk has too much sugar in it. And there are so much better fats than milk fat that I'd rather be putting in my body (like Omega-3s). I use it for my morning shakes, and it's skim.

Calcium is mucho important tho. Luckily, my morning shake contains 93% of my daily allowance but I also eat all sorts of natural calcium sources like green leafys and calcium rich veggies (kale, collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, Chinese cabbage, chicory and bok choy. Broccoli, chard and acorn squash) which give me more.
