This is a statement I must admit I have NEVER understood.

I keep reading on how the saturated animal fats (the kinds in milk from
cows) are not the right kind of fat for babies' brains, but that babies
need PUFA's, the polyunsaturated fatty acids like Omega-3's and the DHA
stuff etc., and yet when it gets to "young children" everyone says that
they should be having whole milk.  Which day does it change?  Exactly at
one year?  I have always thought that it would make much more sense to
feed children skim milk with flax oil added into it (if one was opting
for another animal's milk for the 1-3 yr. age bracket than human milk)!
;-)

So, would anyone like to explain to me where I'm seeing things wrongly,
or am I actually seeing things the right way?

Fio.
