Anyway, this popped up yesterday too:
A study to be published in the January edition of American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reveals that drinking three glasses of milk per day may lead to an 18% decreased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Again, all the usual caveats - association not causation etc.

I have cut back on the cream a bit more now. I eat quite a bit of full fat yoghurt and usually have a raw milk shake with whey a few times a week when i'm feeling lazy. I've been eating less cheese recently as well, though thats more due to me just not thinking about buying it.
Had to cut dairy starting a few months ago since I discovered I'm intolerant (not lactose, protein...so butter still works for me). But I have found that unsweetened almond milk makes a pretty decent glassful and mixes well with things. And if cutting back some on calories, the unsweetened stuff is only 40 calories per cup.

Dubious. Remember the "milk helps you lose weight" studies that were funded by milk producers? Any nutrition journal is going to be subject to extreme bias; the studies don't fund themselves because they are not, strictly speaking, basic science.
