If you've been paying attention to such luminaries as Taubes, Sission et al, you'd know that insulin is what has caused the obesity epidemic. With that in mind it's be best to avoid whey protein due to the insulin spikes, as it's seemingly worse than glucose or white bread. Maybe this is why milk is so fattening, due to it's whey content?

The insulinogenic effect of whey protein is partially mediated by a direct effect of amino acids and GIP on β-cells

    Skimmed milk isn't fattening.

    Could be a deadly combo of the fat and insulin spikes

    Why take any of that artificial, processed stuff at all? Eat a steak and go on with your day.

    I think they were referring to the fact that full fat dairy is significantly higher in calories than skim because fat is more calorically dense. The fact that skim milk has no taste is another matter, though. :smokin:
