“It’s now understood that fats from whole foods, when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, are not as harmful as previously believed, and actually have some health benefits.”
People coming to their senses at last.

Its always been full-fat in our house and at the weekends a ltr of gold top / Jersey at the weekend 
, as a treat. Also real butter, that doesn't live in the fridge.
If it was good enough for my parents and grandparents (all of whom lived till 80+) then it will be good enough for me and my family.

Full fat milk is fine. Obviously, don't drink litres of the stuff every day.
Fat is fine, but many people eat too much if it and too much sugar (often in drinks, highly processed food and wholly unnecessary regular grazing "treat" snacks) and do not do anywhere near the levels of physical activity that require such a large diet.

Love full-fat milk. But I drink about four pints a day so had to switch to Semi-Skimmed otherwise I'd be enormous. Organic of course. Love butter too. And eggs. All the things that seem to be bad for you, or good for you depending on what day it is.
2 litres of full fat is around 1300 calories and semi skimmed 950.If you're worried about your weight I'd be more concerned about your daily intake rather than which type of milk to drink.
Like most things, moderation is the key
Grew up on full fat farm bottled (green top) milk, so should have died at least twice by now, once from brucellosis and once from sclerosis;)
But I am now used to semi-skimmed and like it. Always been a real butter man though, none of this awful spread stuff.
I try to eat real food in moderation as much as I can. And avoid food fads.

The low fat craze was a bit mad. Similar when everyone was encouraged to by margarine instead of butter.
Probably where some of my distrust of authority figures comes from.
The kids always get FF milk. Plenty of goodness and the additional calories are no issue for active kids. I only have it in my coffee but that's only because I'm trying to be semi sensible on the calorie intake.
