I just don't feel like searching for articles and links right now....but there is more and more research coming out which indicates that full fat dairy is actually better for weight loss than low fat dairy...I can also use myself as an example. I've been consuming full fat dairy for most of my life, mostly in a form of yogurt, skyr and kefir and I've never been overweight from it. One of my own rules I follow is that I never mix and combine dairy products with other foods, I always eat dairy by itself....When I make smoothies I use water and blend it with other ingredients.
My total cholesterol intake from foods is about 1380 mg per day, that's about 4 times over the recommended daily allowance.
