Why are whole and reduced fat (2%) milk not permitted under these Guidelines?

Fat free and 1% milk provide the same nutritional benefit without the unnecessary extra saturated fats and calories found in 2% and whole milk. Whole and reduced fat milk are not permissible because these dairy products are the single greatest contributor of saturated fat to children’s diets. Both the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend limiting whole milk after the age of two.
