I am completely obsessed when it comes to dairy. I love cheese, butter, milk, sour cream and ice cream. This goes back to when I was little. My Grandma Anna and Grandpa Oscar used to take me for vanilla ice cream at the local ice cream stand near their house every summer. There was always a slap of butter on the table at every meal. I also remember drinking buttermilk while sitting on Grandma's counters learning how to make some of her favorite recipes. You read that right thick, creamy, yummy, BUTTERMILK! My grandmother will be 91 years old this year and she still drinks buttermilk and eats butter on a regular basis. So I looked to see if there is something behind this.
Our bodies cannot absorb some vitamins without fat. Vitamins A and D in milk are just a few. Consuming full fat dairy has been linked to cardiovascular disease and stroke. It is also great for weight loss/weight control. Let's face, it nobody is craving that rubbery stringy texture of fat free cheese! So knowing that it will not make a difference in weight loss no one should eat the fake stuff.

The buttermint recipe is to die for!
