Many health organizations claim that saturated fat is harmful to health, particularly heart health. Because milk contains saturated fat, dairy companies often sell "reduced fat" milk, or "2%" milk (milk is normally more than 2% fat). The story goes that lower fat milk is healthier. However, if you do research, a great many studies actually show that humans require dietary saturated fats for optimal health, in which case whole milk is healthier than 2%. I'm personally of the latter opinion.
