Skim or no fat milk has all the calcium of whole milk but none of the fat so it is part of a low fat, heart healthy diet. Milk is high in calcium which promotes bone health. There is some evidence that calcium supplements cause an increased risk of heart disease but food sources of calcium have not been shown to be associated with such risk. Grass fed cows milk is higher is omega 3 fatty acids which reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and deaths from heart attacks.
