Low-fat milk recommended for some toddlers

From the same people who bring you kiddie statins.

"Once weaned from breast-milk or formula, some babies as young as 12 months of age should be given reduced-fat (2 percent) milk instead of whole milk, according to newly revised guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) this month.

Specifically, the new recommendation states that the use of reduced-fat milk "would be appropriate" for children between 12 months and 2 years of age who are at higher-than-normal risk of becoming overweight, or have a family history of high cholesterol, obesity, or heart disease."

Trust them as far as you can throw them.
