I want much more information. Where they grew up, rural or urban, what else do they eat, are they active, does it run in their family, etc. How studies are interpreted is all important.

I never had problems with elevated cholesterol (actually it was usually in the lower range) and always avoided low fat products simply because they lacked creamy texture and didn't taste as good, but got a PD diagnosis anyway. So don't beat yourselves guys for falling into the low fat trend.

Maybe it's more a problem of the extra sugar you get in low fat versus whole. Here it says you can get an extra 14 grams of sugar in a glass of low fat milk.

We know sugar causes problems (it's oxidative).

Or it may be some trace nutrient in the butterfat that gets depleted in the low fat versions.

My gut loves a rich ice cream, just didn't feel right when I ate yogurt, so, I quit it years ago. Not a scientist or a nutritionist just continue to follow my gut about what to eat and/or avoid. When in doubt, just quit a food item for a week and see if you feel better. If you do, you know.

Plain yogurt made with full cream milk, or drained Greek style yogurt is ok in every way, just not the flavoured, sweetened, low fat yogurts.

It's not the yogurt...it's the LO-FAT!

I get it now
