Butter is bad because it's made from saturated-fat-laden cream. But other milk-based products can also threaten the heart. Unless they're labeled low fat or nonfat, stay away from desserts and other foods that come from milk...
Blair Gensamer, a former vice president of marketing and strategy at Nestle S.A., created Smilk (that's "smile" plus "milk"), a nonfat milk in seven fruit flavors targeted at school-age kids.
